Meet Henriette and Kevin. As newlyweds, they move to LA to conquer Hollywood. When the dream begins to fade, Henriette delves into a secret life of Pills. Diagnosed with a rejecting kidney transplant, she becomes crippled by fear. Convinced Kevin can never understand, her part-time narcotic trysts explode into a full-blown pharmaceutical affair.

She is in love. Fiorinal, Vicodin, Morphine...All of them. Until one backstabbing day, Pills lead her to her first overdose. Shattered, Kevin sacrifices his soul for his wife. He talks about the ER out of a psychiatric hold. Later, he looks away when she pops Xanax on dialysis. Alone and barely holding on, Kevin believes the unconditional act of donating his kidney will save his wife's life and heal their marriage.

It doesn't. The kidney rejects. There is a second overdose. Nothing seems to break the Pills' obsessive hold over Henriette.

But will it break Kevin? Will it break them? And after a lifetime of cheating can Henriette imagine a sober marriage of two?
