Synopsis by Jason Buchanan

Plagued by alcoholism and having relinquished custody of her two young sons in a messy divorce, a veteran actress attempts to reconnect with her estranged children and ex-husband following a painful stint in rehab. Thea may have a fondness for drink, but when she's dry she's as sharp as a razor. Forced to confront her demons on-stage after winning the role of Martha in a production of Who's Afriad of Virginia Woolf?, the decimated thespian realizes that her only hope for recovery is to reach out to the very same children she once abandoned.
