Synopsis

"An intriguing look at the aftermath of addiction." -- "Los Angeles Times" Madeline has a drinking problem and anger issues, so she's sent away to Spring Meadows, a rehab center in a row of rehab centers known as Recovery Road. On a weekly movie night in town she meets Stewart, who's dealing with demons of his own. It's an intense time, and the two of them come together intensely. When Madeline gets out of rehab, she tries to get back on her feet, and waits for Stewart to join her. When he does, though, it's not the ideal reunion that Madeline has dreamed of. Both of them still have serious problems. And love seems more like a question than an answer. True and insightful, "Recovery Road" is a story about finding the right person at the worst possible time. And loving that person anyway. No matter what. "
