At one time or another everyone asks the question, "Who am I?"

As children, Shep and Cameron were best friends. As adolescents, they were lovers. But as adults, they became strangers. Shep, now married, receives a wedding invitation from Cameron and his internal struggle begins.

Elements of Recovery chronicles the dilemma Shep faces in trying to decide exactly who he is. Pathos and poignancy highlight the roads Shep follows as he abandons his secure and calm existence in his attempt to reestablish himself.
