Description: The goal is ninety: just ninety clean and sober days to loosen the hold of the addiction that caused Bill Clegg to lose everything. After seventy-three days in rehab, he returns to New York and attends two or three meetings each day. There, he befriends Asa - seemingly unshakeably sober - and Polly, struggling with her own cycle of recovery and relapse. When Clegg relapses for the first time, with only three days left, it turns his calendar back to day one. Hitting rock bottom is just the beginning of Bill Clegg's battle to reclaim his life.
