Alex Sampson is a 22-year-old meth addict that lives with her equally addicted and dealer boyfriend, Mitch. Alex is a meek, timid, but intelligent woman who chooses to live vicariously through her addiction, guilt-free and without consequence. She has a tendency to allow herself to be walked over by Mitch, not necessarily because she is weak-minded, but rather because she has decided on the life she currently has and her place in it as the “drug dealer’s girlfriend”. When Alex learns about the pregnancy, her ability to ignore the state of her life and well-being become impossible. She is forced to ask herself whether she, in the conditions she has placed herself in, has the ability to raise a child and supply them with a life worth living. The sobering reality of falling pregnant ignites the strongest characteristics of Alex’s personality, traits which had laid dormant for years such as courage, passion, and a strong moral compass. While she tries to suppress these emotions at first, it soon becomes clear to Alex that something must change in her life and that this change must come directly from her.
