Gwen Cummings hat ein ernztzunehmendes Problem: sich selbst. Die erfolgreiche Autorin und Regisseurin führt als Partygirl an der Seite ihres Lovers Jasper ein Leben im Dauerrausch von Drogen, Sex und Alkohol. Ein Unfall-Skandal im Suff bei der Hochzeit ihrer Schwester bringt Gwen eine Zwangseinweisung in eine Reha-Klinik ein - und führt sie in die Konfrontation mit einer ganz neuen Erfahrung: Entzug inmitten eines Haufens sehr schräger Vögel, die so ganz anders sind als die locker-flippige Party-Meute, von der sie sonst umgeben ist. Anfänglich will Gwen die zahlreichen Verbote in der Klinik nicht hinnehmen. Und auf ihre Mitpatienten schaut sie mit Verachtung herab. Aber im Laufe der verordneten 28 Tage beginnt sie sich langsam zu verändern. Doch die wahre Herausforderung liegt noch vor ihr.
