Homeless and broken after losing everything, Dylan learns a shocking secret: he has a three-year-old daughter, abandoned in a shelter by his ex-girlfriend. Determined to give his little girl the life she deserves, Dylan embarks on an emotional journey of redemption, trying to prove he can be the father little Lila needs.
Dylan sat hunched on the wooden bench outside the Shoe Emporium, his hands gripping a sign that read, “Will clean your shoes for $1.”
The spring chill bit through his tattered coat, but he barely noticed. It had been two years since his life had turned to absolute shambles. Two years since he lost everything.

Tina’s departure had been swift and brutal.
“You’re stuck, Dylan,” she had said, her suitcase by the door. “And now… Gavin is offering me a life you’ll never be able to give me.”

Soon after he lost his job, his apartment followed, taking him even further down his spiral.
