RACHEL works the nightshift, out of sync with daily life. When issues with her methadone script push her unexpectedly into a state of withdrawal, she risks exposing the nature and extent of her own drug use. Suspected of stealing from a delivery driver, it creates a fracture in the fragile social support structure she has created. Facing ever-increasing threats through the haze of her addiction, Rachel is forced to confront her own deceptions.
