Overview

Laney is an attractive, intelligent suburban wife and devoted mother of two adorable children. She has the perfect husband who plays basketball with the kids in the driveway, a pristine house, and a shiny SUV for carting the children to their next activity. However, just beneath the façade lie depression and disillusionment that send her careening into a secret world of reckless compulsion. Only very real danger will force her to face the painful root of her destructiveness and its crumbling effect on those she loves.

A unflinching portrait of a woman's unraveling beneath suburban respectability, driven by depression and compulsive self-destruction. It's a raw, intimate look at how addiction and mental illness corrode relationships from the inside.
