A Good Person

Allison Johnson, an aspiring musician, celebrates her engagement to her high school boyfriend, Nathan Adams. This joyous moment signifies a life-changing commitment, filled with hope and dreams for the future.

After the engagement celebration, a tragic accident occurs due to Allison's inattentiveness while driving. This results in the devastating loss of Nathan's sister, Molly, and her husband, Jesse, leaving a profound impact on all their lives.

Overwhelmed by guilt from the accident, Allison spirals into a deep depression, struggling to cope with the grief. This emotional turmoil makes it increasingly difficult for her to manage her daily responsibilities and relationships.

Allison's mother, Diane, steps in to help her daughter navigate the complexities of her new reality. Diane attempts to pull Allison away from the painkillers that have become her escape from unbearable sorrow.

Daniel, Nathan's father, grapples with the responsibility of caring for his granddaughter Ryan, who is struggling with the loss of her parents. His role as a caregiver is complicated by his own struggles with grief and sobriety.

Allison's struggle with addiction intensifies as she faces painful reminders of her past. Her experience at a reunion with former acquaintances leads her to attend an Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meeting, where she meets Daniel.

Ryan, now an orphan, faces significant challenges, including bullying and isolation. Allison feels the weight of her guilt as her interactions with Ryan remind her of the tragic repercussions of her actions.

During a visit to Daniel's home, Allison has a confrontation with Ryan that marks a turning point in her journey. This encounter triggers a relapse for Allison, as she feels overwhelmed by her emotions and the situation.

Ryan invites Allison to a concert, where Nathan and his new girlfriend will be present. This situation exacerbates Allison's sense of despair, causing her to spiral back into substance abuse.

At an after-party, Ryan finds herself in danger, prompting Daniel to act recklessly while intoxicated. Nathan bravely intervenes, preventing a serious escalation of violence, highlighting the danger of their situations.

Allison and Ryan are forced to confront the consequences of their past actions. The emotional scars run deep, yet they begin to realize the potential for growth and healing amid their struggles.

Determined to change her life, Allison checks into a rehabilitation facility. This pivotal decision marks the beginning of her journey towards healing and rediscovering her identity beyond addiction.

After a year in recovery, Allison reconnects with her passion for music and begins writing heartfelt songs inspired by her experiences. This artistic revival becomes a significant part of her healing process.

Tragedy strikes again as Daniel's life is unexpectedly cut short, leaving Ryan without a guardian. This event forces Ryan to seek guidance from Nathan as she embarks on the next chapter of her life.

At Daniel's funeral, Allison discovers the meaning behind his tattoo 'amor fati,' which translates to 'to love one's fate.' This revelation empowers her to embrace her journey through grief and loss.
