Dorota, a 40-year-old prosecutor, drinks – so she says – “to not go crazy.”  By covering behind her legal immunity, she conceals the offenses she commits under the influence.  Her husband, a well-known politician, tries to keep her problem secret, and save her from various troubles, but he is slowly getting fed up. The student, Magda, likes to party hard, and because she is a great student and has a great job, no one calls her to task for her drinking.  On the other hand, Teresa, a respected pediatric surgeon, has lost her family because of her drinking, and all she has left in life is her work as the director of a hospital.  Things spin out of control when she comes to work under the influence.   All the women’s problems grow, driving the protagonists and their loved ones into serious danger.  In the end, each of them will hit bottom, but will any of them manage to rebound?
