'When life hands you lemons, make lemonade.' What if I prefer to drink mine with a side of Tequila? A pill chaser? What if I told you to go suck those very lemons until your face puckered so tightly you couldn't see? Then maybe, just maybe you could begin to appreciate what it's like to be me. The one left behind after everything has been shredded away. Leaving you bloody and raw. And worse - alone. Maggie's Five is the story of a young woman's journey through her five stages of grief. With the tragic loss of her husband and two children, Maggie desperately attempts to cling on to life, until one day she realises life is living on without her. After meeting Red, Maggie's introduced into a dark world of alcohol, drugs and meaningless sex. Spiralling into the indifference that self-destruction brings, creating a numbness that she relishes. Luke didn't think he was worth the effort to overcome his own loss until he became an inadvertent witness to the accident that would change Maggie forever. Forced to face his own demons, Luke becomes determined to stay close to Maggie. To support her and care for her and catch her when she falls. All that changes when Luke's has to return to America for work.
