William wants to make big changes in his old hometown, but how can he because he's undiscovered and no one wants to listen. Then along comes a man with a plan. William's new pal Buddy promises him everything he's ever wanted. A secret formula for love and respect that guarantees William will have the power and influence he craves, and a whole new life to go with it... At a cost of course... A cost that leaves William wondering if reaching his goals is worth the required sacrifices.
