There’s more to staying sober than not drinking.

After 17-year-old Nora smashes her car into the neighbor’s Winnebago during a blackout, she knows she can’t drink anymore. She misses the last semester of high school to undergo treatment, joins AA and is under constant surveillance by her mother.

Depressed, stuck and cynical, Nora enrolls in a summer self-discovery retreat only to meet her roommate, Racheleen, a poster girl for sobriety and everything positive. Expected to climb rock walls with a smile, meet and greet the rest of the outcasts and, worst of all, open up in group, Nora can’t possibly see how she’s going to make it through let alone get beyond the first three steps.

Wandering the woods during “introspective time” she spies a skinny-dipping counselor from a camp for sick kids across the lake, only to actually meet him face to face the next day. Nora is inspired and suddenly her attitude takes a sharp turn. She finally feels ready to take that moral inventory, admit her wrongs and change her character. But when she finds out Nick has a backstory as well, one that feeds right into the tragedy that led to Nora’s drinking, a relapse comes calling. And when her friends admit there was more to her accident than Nora knows, she is pushed over an edge she promised she’d never go near again.
