Jim is struggling with alcoholism and is forced to attend an AA meeting by his friend Steve. There, he meets a woman named Peggy who shares her story of overcoming addiction. Jim finds himself interested in Peggy and agrees to go on a date with her.
Meanwhile, Steve is dealing with his brother Billy, who has Muscular Dystrophy and is confined to a wheelchair. Steve is the sole provider for Billy and struggles to balance work, and caring for his brother. He asks Jim for help in finding a caregiver for Billy.
