After the death of his young daughter, commercial artist Jim Burton (Richard Egan) sank into a destructive struggle with the bottle that those around him-from his patient wife (Julie London) to his concerned doctor (Walter Matthau)-were unable to pull him out of. As he bottoms out, will his fateful encounter with a fellow alcoholic (Arthur O'Connell) spur him to find a path toward sobriety, for others as well as himself?
