Addiction. Homelessness. Prostitution. Poverty. Crime. Inner-city life can wear on your soul and form a thick layer of emotional rust. But hope can be found even in the darkest of places.

Thirteen-year-old Simon finds the blind old man sitting on his porch, perched high above the dreadful street below. He immediately writes him off as just another pathetic oddity who fits perfectly into the background of the urban neighborhood they both share. But after an awkward attempt at armed robbery, Simon quickly discovers this old man is anything but ordinary. With sharp intellect and mysterious anonymity, the old man quietly uses his faith-based influence to positively help others in the neighborhood face their personal struggles. For Simon, that influence takes him on a lifelong journey of faith that leads to self-discovery, forgiveness, and hope.
