Synopsis
Shirley Adams loses her family to violence and poverty, but gains her own sense of self worth. She spends her days caring for her disabled son, Donovan, who was shot in the back of the neck on his way home from school one afternoon over a year ago. Since then, the Adams family has lost all their worldly possessions to medical bills. Shirley has no money, no job and no husband. Determined to create positive change in their lives, Shirley decides to embrace their new circumstances, hoping that Donovan will follow her example.
