In 1929, famous New York stockbroker Bill Wilson crashes with the stock market and becomes a hopeless drunk. Dr. Bob Smith, a surgeon from Ohio, has also been an alcoholic for thirty years, often going into the operating room with a hangover.
Through an astonishing series of events, Bill W. and Dr. Bob meet and form a relationship, each helping to keep the other sober.
