A phone call at 2am is all it takes to turn Lexie’s life upside down once again in order to help her sister who is battling addiction.
Annie is pregnant and needs immediate medical care, but is terrified to go because she knows she won’t pass a drug test. In Alabama mothers can be prosecuted, and face prison time for chemical endangerment to her unborn baby.
Once again, Lexie’s role is to be stable and responsible and try to fix things for Annie. However this time Annie’s disruptions will have an impact on Sam, Lexie’s fiancé. There are parts of her childhood that she and Annie faced, that she has yet to share with him. However, Sam remains steadfast and supportive despite the upturn of their life.
When Daisy is born, Annie only has a short period of time to spend with her before attending court mandated rehab, if she doesn’t complete it, she will face prison time for chemical endangerment charges.
Naturally, Annie has asked Lexie to take care of Daisy while she’s away and Lexie agrees.
Lexie finally begins to believe that Annie can get sober because of Daisy. Except Annie is having a hard time sharing and reconciling with her past with her therapist… even things Lexie was unaware of. The only thing that seems to be working is a journal that was gifted to her by her late father.
Annie’s defiance when it comes to authority will soon cause her more trouble when she leaves the rehab before completion…
Lexie has been instructed to turn Annie in if she shows up at their house, or she could be facing charges for helping a fugitive. There’s been no sign of Annie for several days after she left rehab, but then she makes a phone call to Lexie. Annie sounds desperate to see Daisy, but Lexie turns her down and urges her to turn herself in and hangs up.
By chance, Lexie visits the trailer where Annie was living to convince her to turn herself in, but what Lexie finds breaks her heart..
