When Darci and Walter Colten and their ten-year-old son, David, moved to their new home, they expected adjustments but becoming guardians for a troubled child was not one of them. As the ugly circumstances behind Randy's behavior came to light, it was a test of Herculean wills, strategy and finely tuned manipulation to save Randy's life. Walter Colten's unusual team pieced together the boy's escape. The long shot paid off but it was only a temporary fix. Ultimately, a little nun with the heart of a lion stood between Randy and his past as it raged forward to consume him. Only one of the combatants survived. Only her indomitable will, allowed Randy to become a member of the Colten family. The vast differences in the boys' personalities lead them in different directions.

The stakes were too high to let the brothers take control. It became more and more apparent that something had to be done about the Coltens. In the final minutes, would anyone hear Randy's prayer?
