dire prognosis of her child, a young boy wise beyond his years, facing his own

to find hope while facing possible extinction in a world that has experienced a

of his life caring for and loving his wife, Sara, and raising their only
daughter, Gracie. Now all he treasures and worked for hangs in the balance and
the odds are clearly against him.
KAYLA YOUNG is the
orphaned daughter of a crack whore. Her life has become the embodiment of
contempt and rejection. She has spent most of her youth passed around in foster
homes finding only abuse and isolation in a cold and soulless system instead of
the family and stability she so desperately desires. She has been forced to become
a rigid and cynical loner in order to survive. Now facing the final lag of her
battle with ovarian cancer and Lupus she sees her life as just a pathetic waste
of an existence and her death will be yet another unremarkable statistic.
DR. RICK FOSTER is a brilliant
African American, oncologist who has dedicated his life to the fight against
cancer. He left a lucrative hospital
position to start his own private clinic. He is a brilliant doctor whose
passion for helping people is fueled by the premature death of his only son to
the disease. Then the loss of his wife by her own hand as her son’s death was
just too much for her to bear.
Dr. Foster’s favorite patient
is a courageous and incredibly smart boy named JUDE RAYNE. He never ceases to
amaze him with his inspiring resilience and unending optimism despite his fatal
prognosis.
TARA RAYNE is an
affluent socialite. She survived a highly publicized battle with breast cancer
and became the hero and pillar of her wealthy gated community, the queen of
suburban royalty. But now she is tormented by the fact that her only son Jude
is suffering with leukemia. A condition she blames herself for. Was it the cost of her haste to become a
mother after the warnings and misgivings of her doctors? She was determined and spared no expense, financing
a birth that defied the odds. Was the risk worth the result? Now she sits here
in this clinic helplessly, watching, her son, Jude losing his battle with leukemia
and all the money in the world can’t save him now.
JACKSON MALLORY is a
young, liberal, defense attorney who has become jaded and cynical thanks to his
hopeless bought with liver cancer and the constant, oppressive hand of his
overbearing, rich, ruthless, father. He
hates the man but couldn’t live without his money and unrequited approval. At least that is what he has led everyone to
believe. He is trying to decide what is
killing him the fastest, the disease or the darkness of his own soul.
PASTOR MATT SAWYER was
cast from his position of leadership by his church because of his cancer. It has allowed him to return to his roots,
serving people. He has lost his faith in
the church but never in God. His wife of
ten years left him, but that only strengthened his resolve. His only goal now
is to provide comfort and peace to others, things he has been unable to obtain
for himself.
