"Hotshot real estate salesman Daryl (Michael Keaton) has a bad cocaine habit. After embezzling his company's money, he wakes up next to a girl who overdosed. To hide from the police, he checks into a rehabilitation program guaranteeing anonymity. Under the mentorship of counselor Craig (Morgan Freeman), Daryl accepts that he has a substance abuse problem. As he falls in love with fellow patient Charlie (Kathy Baker), Daryl begins committing to a newly sober life."


Anyone else a fan of this movie? To me, it’s one of Morgan Freeman’s and Michael Keaton’s more underrated and obscure roles.

It was our big "Oh my God maybe Keaton CAN play a serious Batman" moment.

It was pretty good back in the day. Can't find the damned thing anywhere now though.

I didn't realize it was on Amazon. I'll have to add it to my watch list.

Netflix DVD has it.


A close family member was getting sober in that era, and that movie really struck home. I had it on VHS and watched it numerous times.

The ending of that scene when his girlfriend is driving around all coked up is still one of the most jarring things I've seen in a movie.
