Ember hid her pregnancy as long as she could before ending up on a public bathroom floor in labor. Her baby, born addicted to heroin, was immediately taken from her. Now if she has any chance of getting him back, she has to get clean, get a job and find a place to live. But the love of her life and best friend, Jesse, can't control his anger. How long can she continue to dodge his fists and stay clean while living in a dilapidated, abandoned house in Chicago?

West has just been released from prison after serving three years for a crime he can't bear to think about. Ember meets him at a court-ordered Narcotics Anonymous meeting, and the two form a close bond after hitting rock bottom. But as West falls more deeply in love with her, she starts to pull away. 

One at a time, both must learn the hardest lesson of recovery; the only person you can fix is yourself.
