Product Details
Catholic priest Mark Rossi sought a meaningful mission and envisioned establishing a school for the deaf that would support both deaf individuals and their communities. His opportunity arose when an abandoned public school became available, though it was located three thousand miles away in Los Angeles, far from his home in Baltimore.
Upon his arrival, he finds that the school is not in the condition reported. It was also in the middle of gangland. Luggs, an intelligent drug dealer, has a significant operation across the street and considers the school part of his criminal enterprise.
To make matters worse, the funds meant for the school have vanished. Inside the crumbling building, Father Rossi encounters Lucas, a ten-year-old deaf boy who has slipped through the foster care system. Earning Lucas’s trust proves to be a slow, delicate process.
The LAPD is not having much success in their arrests. Luggs is running his business without much interference. The press is looking for any bad news they can find, and a particular organization would love to see Father Rossi’s dreams go up in smoke.
Will Father Rossi be able to overcome these challenges and support Lucas as well?
