Virginia Porter has been sober for thirteen years and never felt stronger. But as she helps her brother, Ian, get ready for his upcoming wedding, she's thrown off by the request of her soon-to-be sister-in-law, Julie-approach Ryan Marley, Julie's ex-best friend, and ask him to come to the wedding. Nobody has spoken to him in the eighteen months since the incident that broke his friendship with Julie. To make matters worse, Virginia always hated Ryan. Once she faces him, Virginia is pulled in by his demons but decides nonetheless to help him get sober until it becomes all too complicated. Ryan: I'll destroy her and every glimmer of hope she represents, or I'll cling to her for my life. All I need is a sign to know which direction to take. A sign to save me or annihilate us both. Virginia: He can push. I'll stand strong. But he might be my downfall, and I'll never compromise my sobriety for an addict.
