After witnessing a horrible tragedy in which his beloved wife is killed, John Sanford, a veteran from the Gulf War, finds himself living in the streets of Austin, Texas as another homeless man.
His fortuitous encounter with Julia Chavez, the manager of a downtown branch of the Bank of Austin, changes his entire life.
So it begins a series of events in which the homelessness and hunger in America become the centerpiece.
In an effort to find a solution to the problem, they write with the help from a group of friends, a proposal for a bill which ends causing serious conflicts among a few Senators of the Texas legislature.
The story is in a sense a plea for people living in our society, to think of ways of fighting this shameful disaster that is happening in every large city of our country.
