Billie, an abuser and a boozer, attempts suicide one night. After being rescued by two fishermen, he takes it upon himself to call his old high-school friend Perry. Perry is experiencing a rough spot in his marriage and decides to duck out from it for a bit to help Billie, who is desperate and about to try suicide once more. But when Perry meets up with Billie, things do not go as planned: instead of giving Billie perspective and hope, Perry is dragged down into Billie's world of drugs, booze, and sleazy strippers - and, before he knows it, he's entrenched there.
