Voice in the Mirror

“Of one man's battle to regian his lost manhood...and of the girl who crawled back with him...every shocking inch of the way!”

Synopsis

Jim Burton, chronic alcoholic, is cared for by Ellen, his incredibly patient, sexy, hard-working wife. A doctor's warning that Jim could become mentally ill strikes enough fear into him that he really wants to cure himself...but can't.
