L'écran ose ouvrir les pages étranges et sauvages d'un best-seller bouleversant !

Don Birnam est un alcoolique de longue date. Voilà dix jours qu'il n'a pas touché à une goutte d'alcool, et il semble sur la bonne voie. S'arrangeant pour ne pas aller passer un week-end à la campagne avec son frère et sa petite amie, il se retrouve seul pour quatre jours de cuite sévère. Il repense à son passé, souvent gâché par la bouteille. Cette fois, sa descente aux enfers sera sa dernière, d'une façon ou d'une autre.
