Additional Info

Ty Wain, played by Tim Daly in Los Angeles, is at the bottom of his life in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center in Colorado. He meets Donna Sicard, a teacher in rehab for the third time; if she fails this round she may lose her child to foster care forever. They form a bond that helps them understand their situation and then realize that to overcome addiction, they must sacrifice their relationship. Three years later Ty is struggling to paint a portrait of Donna and, as he paints, he discovers the true nature of love.
