A dark, intimate portrait of a failing marriage and a man's struggle with alcoholism and professional redemption, rooted in guilt and the erosion of self-respect.

An actor on the skids is given one more chance to regain his stardom, as well as his self-respect, yet his alcoholism may prevent that from happening.
