John’s younger brother Michael and sister Cara welcome him back with open arms and try to help John for the better but his older brother Jimmy knows a dark family secret that tore the family apart and for which John was responsible. With the family’s help, John starts to turn his life around and the reconstruction of an individual and a family begin.
