Will fifteen-year-old Kevin Tyler be ripped away from the only home he's ever known? The ensuing legal battle sets the courts of Texas and the Canadian province of Alberta on a collision course.

When a desperate Kevin takes matters into his own hands, he unwittingly sets off a life-and-death struggle no one saw coming. With danger threatening from all sides, Tony scrambles desperately to rescue Kevin before it's too late.
