Synopsis: The Angel Rehab Centre for Alcoholics was the most famous rehabilitation centre in town as the members of this centre were divided into groups of 6 with a counselor and have to take on a job and win one million dollars each, if the job was done well and this would in turn rid them off their drinking habit. Obviously, this was just a hoax to rid them of the same.
Travis Schiez was counselor to 6 alcoholics, Alex, a divorcee; Rachel, a junkie; Thomas, a job and sleep deprived man; Jonyin, who was abused as a kid; Lars, a gay prostitute and Jenna, an ex-convict who was accused wrongly. These six have to make a major sale of cement to a construction company. They take on the job but the counselor doesn't totally trust this bach and so sends a person, Roy to spy on them from afar. They come to know about him and that this program is a hoax after a tragedy that takes place within the group. They plan to get back at their counselor and simultaneously show that they are capable of getting the job done, maybe with a few drinks here and there.
