Frequently the series shows shocking live footage of Amy doing drugs and moving scenes of her family which often bring DJ AM into tears. In an interview, Amy's brother says he has to lock his room and closet and keep his belongings in a safe to avoid been stolen from Amy. Her sister says she can't recognize her anymore, and her mother,- a woman whose own husband died from drug addiction- is shown going to church to pray in a daily basis as she deals with the fear of losing her daughter.
