A young guy wastes his life drinking. He has a hard lesson to learn in order to find his way back to his friends and former running mates. I understand the point of the movie but I became bored with it and didn't really connect with our drinking star.Michael Elgin (Eion Bailey) used to be in tip top shape and form and a great track runner back in high school. Now in his 30's, he choices to drown himself in alcohol on a daily basis. Not only is it effecting his job but his marriage is suffering because of it. His wife Phoebe (Ellen Pompeo) threatens to leave him and all he does is drink more to drown out his sorrows. When he crashes his friends car into a tree, it's because he's been drinking. Yet, Michael walks away from the accident without a scratch. It's then, his friends decide the must get together and intervene in his life.
Michael's friends plan a meet, along with a psychiatrists, to force him to take a look at his life. However, the doctor doesn't show up as his priority was a suicidal patient. Michael seizes the opportunity to convince his friends to stay and party instead, thus defeating the whole purpose. One drink leads to another and hurtful things are flung around the group. Michael takes notice but it's not until he misses out on his fathers dying, he finally gets a grip on life, laces up his running shoes, and tries to jog himself back into life.
