Les Mckeown went from being lead singer of the Bay City Rollers, a pop superstar, pursued by adoring fans wherever he went to penniless obscurity virtually overnight. Three decades later, he's drinking himself to death. In his own words, committing a 'slow suicide'. When Les arrives at Passages he's put on medication to help with the withdrawal and spends the first few days dopey and miserable. Les then makes an overnight decision not to take any more medication and he instantly begins to sit up and participate in the therapy.
