A meek, overlooked small-town pharmacist feels trapped in his monotonous life and unfulfilling marriage. He enters into an affair with a wealthy, seductive, and reckless customer. Under her influence, he begins to misuse the prescription drugs at his disposal, leading to a new life of excitement and danger. This chemical-fueled rebellion gives him a temporary sense of power but also pulls him into a vortex of deceit and risky behavior that threatens to destroy everything.
