Sonya used to perform onstage. She used to attend glamorous parties, date handsome men, ride in fast cars. But somewhere along the way, the stage lights Sonya lived for dimmed for good. And then, in their absence, came darknessblackouts, empty cupboards, hazy nights she cant remember. Sonya feels too much and feels too oftendrinking provides an escape from her painful existence.

What keeps Sonya from losing herself completely is Tommy, her four-year-old son.

But her immense love for Tommy is in fierce conflict with her immense love of the bottle. Sonya wants to take care of Tommy, but it is Tommy who takes care of Sonya as she battles a disease dragging her toward rock bottom.

As Sonyas grip on reality loosens, her father asks a neighbor to keep an eye on her. But when Tommys life is put at risk, Sonya is given an ultimatum: spend twelve weeks in rehab or lose Tommyforever.
