Written by Lane Stanley
When young, privileged Amy is sent unwillingly to a recovery house by her mom, the connections that she makes with everyone who lives there – including Hal, a recently incarcerated heroin addict – have intense consequences. Addict Named Hal explores the everyday struggles, joys, and horrors of getting clean.
