Synopsis

Rachel Walsh has been living a glamorous, fast-paced life in New York City, fueled by parties, an adoring boyfriend, Luke, and a seemingly endless desire for fun. However, her indulgent lifestyle takes an abrupt turn when her sensible older sister intervenes, sending her straight to rehab. Rachel, initially resistant and believing rehab to be more of a luxurious spa vacation for celebrities, agrees to the 'incarceration' with the expectation of jacuzzis and pampering. The reality, however, is a stark contrast, forcing her to confront the true nature of her habits and the deep-seated issues she's been avoiding. As she navigates the difficult path of recovery, facing the potential loss of her freedom and the man she loves, Rachel is forced to look inwards and embark on a journey of self-discovery. This poignant yet hilariously told story explores whether hitting rock bottom can ultimately lead to self-acceptance and a new beginning.

Critical Reception
