She realizes that she has a problem but is totally unable to do anything about it. Until her new boyfriend wants to visit her apartment. Can he help her overcome this disorder and live a normal life again? Will she be helped by a recovery group that she's joined for people with OCD? Or will she continue tiring herself out by trying to keep total order in her life and her surroundings?
