A lame drama about a heavy drinking young woman who is court-ordered to detox. As she joins the programme, the story turns into One Flew Over the Dipso's Nest. The rehab clinic houses a motley group of colourful and amusing addicts. Moments of desperation are followed by moments of laughter and bonding, and the obligatory suicide puts everything into perspective.
