An eight-year-old boy migrates to Brooklyn, New York, to reunite with his family. His status as a Haitian immigrant leads to bullying and ridicule while social and economic conditions threaten the familys survival. Through the power of prayer, and an unprecedented bond that turns uncles, aunts, cousins, and siblings into a family of one, they overcome impossible odds. He documents his inspirational life journey to teach the new generation about the power of prayer and the value of family unity.
