Joe Clay is at the top of his game as public-relations man. He caters to his client’s needs and that is what makes him good at his job. He has a problem with drinking and his job is full of events he goes to where there is a lot of drinking. He encounters the beautiful Kirsten Arnasen who loves chocolate and not alcohol, but Joe introduces her to a Brandy Alexander, which has crème de cocoa. They marry one another, yet alcohol begins to consume their lives. They are constantly going back and forth with drinking.
