A janitor. A software mogul. A college grad. An IRS paper-pusher. Although they live thousands of miles apart, these four people share a secret: They’re recovering addicts who’ve found a safe haven in an online chat room.

Mientras tanto, en su torre de marfil, el hombre adinerado indirectamente responsable de sus penas lucha por encontrar razones para sonreír.
