Two abused teens, from different socio-economic backgrounds, form a bond that will be tested but never broken. In the concrete jungle you are one of two thingsーpredator or prey. Sylvia-Ann Felix grew up living this simple truth. She wasn’t about to become the prey. Cages have no hiding places. Sylvia-Ann’s apartment felt like a cage. It was the one place she could not run or hide from her abuser. Self-preservation answers the question, fight or flight? In Sylvia-Ann’s case it was fight. There was not getting away from her mother, so she pushed her down a flight of stairs. The courts ruled her actions self-defense and sent her to live with her paternal grandfather. Heroes aren’t born; they are forged by life. Life needs to do more forging. On the surface, Bill Denali had everything. His best friend was the darling of the county. He lived in a beautiful house where the household staff attended to his needs. And his father, the charismatic Reverend William Denali, took out his anger and frustration on him. With a sick mother to worry about, the high school senior saw no choice but to accept the beatings and the fact that even if he told, no one would believe him. When Sylvia-Ann saw the reverend’s son in church, she sensed something about him. She had no idea that what she sensed was familiarity. On the night of his mother’s death, Sylvia-Ann learned that she and Bill shared a secretーshame from being abused. Sylvia-Ann had stood up to her mother. She certainly had no qualms about standing up for Bill. She told her grandpa, who after confirming her story by talking to the boy and seeing the bruises and welts, made sure the reverend never hurt his son again. Cal Felix never pretended to be anything other than what he wasーa simple man who had made more than his share of mistakes. When his granddaughter, Sylvia-Ann, came to live with him, he saw it as his final chance at redemption. She needed direction. When she saw him working out by boxing, she all but begged him to teach her. After being assured by her therapist that it would do her no harm, Cal agreed with the condition that she would only fight inside the ring. But Sylvia-Ann became more than a second chance for Cal, she allowed him to relive his glory days. He felt the jubilation from every victory and the pain of every defeat. Little did he know that this incredible, young woman would force him to face and forgive himself his past mistakes. Will the Felix family legacy be pain and repeating past mistakes, or is it something more?画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。
