Balancing the hectic and lonely tides in the life of an addict, Cassidy and Josh pursue their dreams of writing and directing a feature film while living in the recovery center where they met. The men battle to find investors and make a short film version of their script. After Cassidy relapses and gets kicked out of the center, the men struggle to produce the film separately. Tension mounts as Josh gets closer to graduation, Cassidy trudges through the 12 Steps of recovery, and filming approaches. In the end, they will confront their deepest fears and hopefully make amends with those they have hurt, as they attempt to create a quality short film that will play at festivals around the country.
