How far can you bend before you break? Billie Dixon's bipolar mother wants her in therapy and won't take no for an answer. Her sister wants her to act the role of perfect daughter and bridesmaid for her mother's wedding. And Xander wants her to admit feelings that don't exist. But her infectiously bubbly housemate doesn't think she needs therapy. When the two become fast friends, Dahlia provides Billie with the effortless companionship she craves. Plus a thirst-quenching solution for her depression. But a bottle of wine isn't the best coping mechanism when your mom's an alcoholic. Can Billie trust her instincts before she loses herself? Now, Billie must choose between her first female friend and her own mental health. If she doesn't keep herself together, she'll end up every bit the alcoholic as her mother.
