A Swig of the Bottle

Life isn't going well for Beatriz. After losing her husband and child she finds solace at the bottom of a whisky bottle. Her drinking problem leads to her losing her job, and as she thinks things can't get any worse a stranger appears in her car, and forces her to drive. Where? She doesn't know. Why? The stranger forces her to confront a dark secret.
