About the Job
Beth and Penny are chronic relapsers. They've been in and out of treatment many times and know the rules — how to bend them, break them, and survive inside them. Deeply cynical, emotionally exhausted, carrying the weight of long-term illness and personal abandonment. Treatment is their reality and they don't really care to change that.
