In a pocket of rural Ohio hit hard by the nationwide opioid epidemic, a court-mandated drug rehabilitation program offers help to those hoping to overcome addiction. While wrestling with their own internal struggles, Cody Parsons (Will Poulter) and his brother Jack (Noah Centineo) work toward sobriety with the support of a tireless counselor (Annette Deao) and a community of fellow locals in recovery. With a cast predominantly made up of non-professional actors sharing their experiences, pain, and hope, Ohio-born filmmaker Adam Meeks blends fiction and documentary for an honest, compassionate portrait of a battle being fought all over America and the solidarity that flowers on its front lines.
