Description
A community in crisis-what can five people do to make a difference?
Parker Wilson has nothing to worry about beyond his marketing job and donating bone marrow to his nephew, who is fighting leukemia. Then he meets Marcus, a little boy dying of a brain tumor who spends most days alone in a hospital room. Because of this child's life and then death, Parker is forced to step outside his suburban comfort zone and confront the struggles, not only of one family, but of an entire community.
Then Parker and four other people are each given $10,000 with the stipulation it is invested in their community and, in a year, report what they did with it. The needs in the community far outpace this gift, and Parker is stretched to the limit of his ability to make the money go as far as possible. Beatrice feels insignificant and useless since her husband died, until she's invited to invest in a new restaurant-and the lives of the young people who work there. Collin loves his cushy lawyer job but decides to invest his money in the Lincoln Square Community Center, even when it means getting his hands dirty to make the money go as far as it can. Ed feels as though life has handed him some rotten deals. When his $10,000 practically lands in his lap, he thinks his luck has turned-until he loses it all and must decide whether he's willing to put forth the effort to change. How will each of these people use the talents God has given them to be an influence for good in their struggling community?Spécifications
