In order to obtain her trust, 26- year-old Allison Birch, must undergo 90-days of sobriety at the only sober-living facility that will take her: The Shoaks. While there, and under less-than-glamorous circumstances, Allison meets other Shoaks residents from varying circumstances and choices. Owner and operator Ophelia Endicott is well-intentioned but completely inept, like a cruise director running an AA meeting. For Allison, what begins as a ploy to breeze through her stay becomes a fight to regain control of her life, while also trying to understand how she ended up at such a place, and what she must do to leave.
