Sylvie does the grocery shopping, the laundry, the scheduling, the schlepping and the PTA-ing, while planning her sons Bar Mitzvah and cheerfully tending her husband, Paul, whos been lying on the sofa with a broken ankle. Shes also secretly addicted to the Oxycontin intended for her husband. For three years, Sylvie has repressed her grief about the heartbreaking stillbirth of her newborn daughter, Delilah. On the morning of the anniversary of her death, when she just cant face doing onemorething: she takes onejust oneof her husbands discarded pain pills. And suddenly she feels patient, kinder, and miraculously relaxed. She tells herself that the pills are temporary, just a gift, and that when the supply runs out shell go back to her regularly scheduled programming. But days turn into weeks, and Sylvie slips slowly into a nightmare. At first, Paul and Teddy are completely unaware, but this changes quickly as her desperate choices reveal her desperate state. As the Bar Mitzvah nears, all three of them must face the void within themselves, both alone and together.
