At the start of an evening Alcoholics Anonymous gathering, Jim appears particularly distressed. His mentor urges him to share his thoughts that night, marking his first time doing so in seven months, and he complies before promptly leaving the session. As Jim roams through the night, seeking comfort in familiar places like bars and parks where he once purchased drugs, the meeting continues. We hear the narratives of survivors and addicts—some, like Louis, who claim they accidentally stumbled in while looking for choir practice and don’t identify as alcoholics, and others, like Joseph, whose drinking nearly resulted in his child’s death—as they discuss their lives during the meeting.
