Synopsis

A man and woman meet. They fall in love. They have a child. Everything seems perfect. Alcohol, however, slowly destroys everything they hold dear: their marriage, child, careers, and relationships with friends and family. In the end, the cycle of self-destruction ends for one of them, and hope appears; but, counterbalancing that, is the despair that consumes the other. It soon becomes clear that individual choices truly do have far-reaching consequences, and ignoring that fact can result in devastation and heart-break.
