Addicted follows Penelope Day an alcoholic in a rehab where magical things happen. While in treatment Penelope befriends a cocky Irish teen, and the two of them do what they can to sustain their sobriety. Together they work on ending Penelope's five hundred year old family curse; a curse that is driving her mad, leaving her to question what is real and what is not.
Addicted boldly and humorously asks "What are you addicted to?"
