Beschreibung
When Jake gets his girlfriend Julia pregnant, all their plans and dreams for the future fall apart. Determined to put things right, Jake drops out of school and takes a job to support them. Their sparse existence in a cramped studio apartment is difficult at best, but when the baby arrives their situation becomes dire. Before long, the strain of marriage, the baby, and a stack of unpaid bills takes its toll. Julia gives up and returns with the baby to her parents.
Alone and on his own, Jake wanders into a corner bar. One drink leads to another and before long, he's on the street, begging for handouts, always in a drunken stupor. Then one morning he awakens on a park bench to find Father Deasy, his priest from home, seated next to him. Deasy gives Jake a place to stay and introduces him to an AA group that meets in the parish hall.
Jake's life improves, but a secret from his past lurks over him. Someone he shouldn't have seen. Something he shouldn't have known. A night he has tried to forget. Now, that secret is the last thing between Jake and the life he wants to live. Redemption can open the way, but can he survive long enough to find it?
