A heartfelt family drama about a bullied, troubled boy finding redemption and hope through music and human connection amid grief and hardship.

The chance to shine in a singing competition offers much-needed hope for a Southern middle-schooler who's drowning in worries, from bullies in the halls to turmoil at home -- and the news that his reservist father has been called back to Afghanistan.
