Mickey Catalan is a good, well-liked teen. She's honest and hardworking and a star of her championship softball team. In fact, softball is her life, her passion. When Mickey and her best friend get into a serious car accident, Mickey is anxious to recover in time to play her senior season and secure a spot on a college team. She's prescribed OxyContin for her pain and discovers she loves the warm, painless cocoon the drug provides. Convincing herself that she should keep taking it until she's back in shape and playing well, she betrays the trust of her family and friends to get the drug illegally. Her descent into addiction and her need to hide her drug use upends her relationships with those who love her. With her life and future on the line, Mickey needs to face some hard truths about her behavior and her health, but the drugs make it far too easy to ignore these important problems and let her life slip away.
