Four Good Days

Margaret 'Molly' Wheeler, now 31, arrives back at her childhood home after a year away. This return is filled with nostalgia as she confronts her past and the memories tied to it, hoping to find a fresh start.

Molly pleads with her mother, Deb, to allow her to stay temporarily before starting her detox. Deb struggles with her maternal instincts, torn between her love for Molly and the need to not enable her addiction.

As night falls, Molly's persistence convinces Deb to take her to detox the following morning. This decision marks a pivotal moment in Molly's journey as she prepares to confront over a decade of addiction.

Molly enters the detox program, which reveals the depth of her struggles over the years. She faces the stark reality of losing custody of her children and battling her way through addiction treatment.

After four days in detox, Molly learns of a potential treatment involving an opioid antagonist, contingent on her remaining clean for an additional four days. This stipulation adds pressure to her recovery journey.

As Molly reintegrates into her life, she hears Deb's heartfelt revelations about her own troubled past. These confessions force Molly to reassess her beliefs regarding her mother's choices and sacrifices.

On her second day back, Molly enjoys a precious moment with her children, facilitated by her ex, Sean. This emotional reunion provides a glimmer of hope and reinforces her desire to overcome her struggles.

During a grocery trip, Deb and Molly encounter Coach Miller, who invites Molly to speak to his class about the realities of drug addiction. This opportunity becomes a significant step in her journey of healing.

Molly bravely addresses Coach Miller's class, sharing her truth with honesty and vulnerability. Her confessions awaken hope in Deb as she believes it might catalyze change in Molly's life.

On a visit to see her friend Sammy, Molly unexpectedly encounters her ex-boyfriend, Eric. He inadvertently reveals a painful truth about Molly's past—a pregnancy that ended in adoption, deepening her emotional turmoil.

Later that evening, Molly receives a distressing phone call from the detox center revealing she must endure another three days before getting her crucial shot. This news weighs heavily on her as she faces her addiction.

Molly’s behavior raises concerns for Deb, leading to intense arguments and Molly leaving Sean's house in frustration. As tensions rise, Deb finds herself constantly reaching out to Molly, only to be met with silence.

On a Monday morning, Molly returns and urges Deb to get ready for their detox appointment. In a moment of desperation, Molly asks for Deb's urine, confirming suspicions of relapse just before treatment.

After arriving at the detox facility and receiving the opioid antagonist shot, Molly experiences severe withdrawal symptoms, necessitating an emergency trip to the hospital. This moment intensifies her struggle for sobriety.

Four months later, a revitalized Molly lives with Deb and works hard to reconnect with her children. She prepares for her next shot, symbolizing her ongoing struggle towards recovery and her desire for a better life.
