A boy who was taken from his parents by a woman who raised him in poverty and violence finds his way home again. He is in a program for teens who are on their way to prison unless someone intervenes and pulls them from their past to find a life in the present and the person who does this turns out to be his own mother. At first she is not sure and almost gives up on him when he lapses into crime and violence time after time but given the way he was starved and beaten from the time he was little till his teen years. It took time for the woman to accept the truth and faced the hard part of getting his father, her husband to love and accept him. The ending was beautiful.
