Recently released from prison, George Fisher has lost everything - his family, his best friend, his once considerable wealth - and is working as a chauffeur for Trey Treadway, the heir to a hotel chain, who hires ex-cons because they can be intimidated. George, hoping to get away from Trey, has just interviewed for the perfect job when Trey brings home his nine-year-old son, Josh, whose mother has died. Disinterested in Josh, Trey is, in fact, cruel to him, while George slowly warms to the boy, ultimately rescuing him and setting a course that changes his own life as well as Josh's.
