Description: Her name is Sherise Parlay. She's just dried out after a three-month bender, and she's decided that it's going to be her last. At thirty-six (looking thirty), she figures she's still got time to cash in on the promise of the good clean life that Miami can offer, still got time to get herself "out of the dark bars and into the daylight". The problem for Sherri is that daylight turns out to be only another guidelight on her downward spiral.
