The story

The film begins with Bernie, a known alcoholic, walking through the rain on his way to pick up his six-year-old daughter Winnie, who has polio, from his ex-wife Melissa. She has remarried to Carl, who Bernie sees getting in his car to go to work, and not missing a beat, asks to borrow some money from him. While he waits for Melissa to get Winnie ready, he sneaks into their liquor, and downs a couple of large shots of vodka.
