Over the Edge

Angie has been living her life on the edge for a long time, but despite this, she is a very successful real estate salesperson. At a Christmas party, her boss Allan avenges what he considers to be a slight by spiking the punch with vodka, which is very difficult to detect. Angie, who is the only person that has been drinking the punch, leaves the party thinking she is sober. Driving home, she hits a child chasing a ball on to the road. The ambulance and police are called. Angie is charged with drunk driving and could also be facing a charge of manslaughter if the child dies. She loses her driving licence, and her job with it. Her sister is no longer speaking to her and refuses to let her see her much-loved niece. Her life has now tilted over the edge. She has lost everything she ever valued. Despite enormous personal problems, can Angie reclaim all that she has lost and rebuild her life?
