LOGLINE

Years after a life-altering robbery, a home health aide finds himself assigned to the now-paralyzed gang member who shot him long ago. Face-to-face again, both men must take steps towards recovery, redemption, forgiveness, and love.

CONCEPT 

Brian becomes the victim of a robbery and shooting that almost takes his life.  After surviving, unable to deal with life's setbacks and difficulties, he turns to alcohol as an escape. Over time, alcoholism controls him and he loses everything he ever had; his job, his family, and his possessions. All of it is squandered in pursuit of the next drink. Due to his alcoholism, Brian's fiancé, Wendy, refuses to let him have a relationship with their newborn son, Omar. His life is completely destroyed. 

Fourteen years pass and the effects of alcoholism reduce Brian to a homeless alcoholic.  Instead of fighting the alcoholism, he embraces it. It becomes the cornerstone of his existence, the guiding force. His focus is not on battling alcohol; instead it's to battle every obstacle that stands between him and alcohol.

With the help of a stranger, Brian gets in control of his life, becoming clean and sober. He gains love and support from his new, spiritual-based friend Marvin, but desperately needs structure in the process of rebuilding his life. 

With guidance, Brian gets a job as a home health aide, and is responsible for caring for the elderly and people with disabilities. He is well-liked by his patients and well-regarded by his coworkers due to his exceptional job performance.  Brian's boss picks him to take care of patients that require advanced care.  He is sent to provide in-house assistance to a patient that is newly paralyzed due to a gang-related shooting.  He recognizes the new patient, Taj, as the same person who shot him fourteen years prior. 

Desperate to rebuild a relationship with the son he never got to know and the only woman he ever loved, Brian decides to reconcile with his new patient.  He tells the patient how they once crossed paths. The patient is taken aback.

Face-to-face again, both men must take steps towards recovery, redemption, forgiveness and brotherly love.
