Description: After losing her brother to gang-related violence, elementary school teacher Kinley is on a mission to help her at-risk students. When one of them, Justice, is caught in an act of vandalism, she intervenes. Entrepreneur Nash McGuire has gone to great lengths to overcome the poverty he grew up in. While working on a renovation project in his old neighborhood he collides with a juvenile delinquent and his do-gooder teacher. Kinley believes Justice can overcome the influence of his environment; Nash knows the odds and has little patience with Kinley's naiveté. But as the boy's mandatory community service forces Justice and Kinley into Nash's life, he can't help but discover a boy searching for love and purpose, a boy very much like he once was. When Justice is accused of another crime, Kinley's stubborn belief in his innocence is just too much for Nash to accept.
