Broke and homeless, she tries to mend fences with her son James (Owen Teague) and return to her hometown to start over. After some drifting, she ends up at a hotel managed by Sweeney (Marc Maron) and the process of getting clean, cleaning hotel rooms and finding a purpose on her slow road to recovery.
