On Christmas Day, Bruce Kohler wakes up in detox on the Bowery in New York City. He knows it’s time to change his life, but how can he stay sober without dying of boredom? When homeless alcoholics start to die unexpectedly, Bruce is surprised to find he cares enough to want to find out why.

THIS SOBER LIFE is a poetic look into the mind of a young man as he struggles with his addiction to alcohol.
