When Delia entered treatment for drug and alcohol addiction at 17, her life changed forever. She believed she could make it through anything without backsliding - until she receives a phone call from her best friend, Timothy, whom she met in rehab.Fulfilling a pact they made a decade earlier, she leaves her husband and child in Seattle to care for him as he dies. While in Los Angeles, Delia sorts through her memories - and as her past catches up with her present, she sees she has not merely survived her losses and mistakes, but has been made better because of them.
