Throughout the movie he tries to find direction, clean up his act and become the family man that his wife and son need. He decides one day to make amends with his family, but has to fight a battle with what his conscience is telling him and the pressures he is facing from his so-called friends who still want him to return to his life of drinking and drug abuse.
