Michael escapes and seeks help from Adela, who lives in the area. She lends him her car and reports the theft to the police. Their relationship continues. Michael moves in with her. He's still a dealer. Adela falls in love with him, driving around the city, pulling him out of clubs, more and more stoned and she insists on rehab, but it has no effect. It gets worse. Adela is exhausted and asks a doctor friend about sleeping pills. One day, she drinks a bottle of wine and overdoses on the pills. Michael finds her unconscious and drives to Barring’s Clinic. Waiting in the clinic he swears that if she survives he will break the habit. The doctor informs him that her brain has hypoxia and Adela will be disabled. She is alone and dr.Barring wants to put her into an institution. Michael promises to get a job and take care of her. After arguing with Barring, Michael contacts a family friend, Philip Machen, and asks him for help. He goes to Philip's cabin in the mountains and struggles with his addiction. After a long time he succeeds and finds a job in TV. He creates a dance group and gets permission to take care of Adela. He achieves great success and after the release of the clip with his choreography, the team celebrates . In the pub, Michael sees a girl very similar to Adela on TV, she is dancing at a Festival in Vail, but the bartender switches the channel. Michael looks for the performance on a laptop and with amazement he sees that this not a similar girl, but Adela !! He runs home and there follows a series of screams, apologies, tears and an explanation of the whole intrigue . Going to retrospection, we learn that the overdose of pills after alcohol was accidental and harmless, and the illness was simulated, to force Michael to quit drug dealing and addiction. He feels cheated, but acknowledges that her idea was effective. It led to a change in his attitude to life and him finding a great job. The story ends with the confession of feelings and a happy ending.
