Elizabeth is precocious, a free spirit, but in the sixties, that isn't a good thing. She meets Mike, an officer, and sparks fly. Mike introduces her to the world, to life, to love and to gin. But Mike has a dark side and uses his fists to control her. His jealousy and possessiveness are forgiven because she loves him more than life itself. But when he begins to cheat on her, she takes to drinking and is unable to control it. It becomes an obsession and when Mike is away, sometimes for weeks at a time, she finds solace in the bottle. She loses everything, her freedom, her friends and her family. A heart-wrenching story about one woman's journey to regain her children, her sanity and her life.
