Billie Frank (Sherilyn Fenn), an out-of-work alcoholic actress, used to be somewhat of a star in her day, but now she's all washed up.

Billie meets Dave Parelli (Jonathan Penner), a guy who lives in her apartment building, and is also an alcoholic. The show was based upon their relationship, along with all of the others in Alcoholics Anonymous with them.
