Cali, who married the man of her dreams, suddenly finds herself “married to a junkie.” A tough gal from Pottstown, Pennsylvania, Cali isn’t about to give up without a fight. No matter how hard the destructive force of addiction tries to destroy them, the force that is Tim and Cali keeps fighting together.
