Sober Companion

Pop icon Lucy Green is on the brink of a comeback. After years of addiction and tabloid scrutiny she's determined to prove she's changed. Lucy has a new album, a young son and a second chance at the career she once had. But the pressure of being back in the spotlight starts to mount and Lucy finds herself paired with a "sober companion". Enter Tim. A recovering addict turned sober companion tasked with getting Lucy safely to rehab. The problem? Lucy doesn't think she needs saving and Tim is the last person she wants telling her how to live her life. What starts as a trip to rehab becomes an unpredictable journey that pushes them both out of their comfort zones. And together, they're forced to confront the messy business of fame, family and recovery.

Warning: This series has some strong language, scenes of drug taking and deals with themes of addiction.
