Meet Nicky Paterson. Hes an average guy, living an average life. His middle class existence in a suburban Connecticut town would be the envy of most until it all comes crashing down.

A bitter divorce and custody trial made worse by his escalating addiction to alcohol sets Nicky on a course of personal destruction.
