A single father living in a rundown complex with his nine-year-old son, Maizen, he's desperate to give his boy a better life - even if it means doing things he never imagined. When Jordan Crawford, the wealthy older brother of Asa's best friend, comes back to town, sparks fly - but not the friendly kind. Asa can't stand Jordan's cold, self-assured attitude, and Jordan's own walls make him dislike everyone around him. But when desperation meets opportunity, an unexpected arrangement could be the solution to both their problems... if they can survive each other long enough to make it work.
