Lucas has dreams of becoming a firefighter just like his hero from second grade, Firefighter Andy Garrett. But in reality, Lucas' life as a teenager is hard. It's been made even harder after losing his parents at a young age by being constantly bounced from one foster home and one new school to another. Finding himself in yet another new school, Lucas witnesses a girl being bullied and selflessly steps in to help. Successful in drawing Joel De Grey's and his two friends' attention from the girl, Lucas now finds himself squarely in their sites. While this encounter becomes the first of many with these three, it surprisingly forges a path to somewhere Lucas only imagined in his dreams. A home and a loving family. But is this wonderful new life really happening or is it too good to be true? A life's story filled with heartrending loss, heart-pounding danger, and heartwarming love.
