But being levelhead does not last too long as most of her time besides performing is spent on alcohol and drugs while suffering from low self-esteem and insecurity. During most of her concerts, Foster can be seen slurling her words and getting drunk on stage in front millions of fans. Foster does beg that Rutger slightly give her a break as she is constantly is on tour and on demand half of the time.
The Rose also chronicles more of Foster's life other than drinking and drugs, as she explore other areas of self-destruction such as sleeping with dozens of men, living a life which seemingly will quickly hit rock bottom. But there seem to be a bit of hope when she meets a inexplicable man named Huston who might save Foster from harms way. But the only way Foster will live a clean and better life only if she let her friend in to what truly bothers her. Maybe Hudson can reach the saddened star before it is too late.
