LOS ANGELES, Aug 9 — Momentum Pictures has released the first trailer for upcoming drama A Million Little Pieces that stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson.

The film is based on James Frey’s controversial best-selling book and it follows the hard road to recovery of a young alcoholic and drug addict.

The synopsis of the film reads: "An alcoholic and a drug addict, 23-year-old James has two options: Treatment or death. After waking up on a plane with a smashed up face and no memory of the past few weeks, he heads to rehab where he discovers much more than detox and therapy. As James endures the white-knuckle journey of mending his broken body, he heals his broken soul by connecting with other kindred spirits who also yearn and fight for a better life.”

A Million Little Pieces is set for US release on December 6.
