Growing up in the inner cities of LA, Sonny does everything he can not to fall victim of inner city nihilism, where gangs and drugs plague the community. Being raised in a dysfunctional home, filled with abuse, a father on drugs, and no stability, Sonny leaves home at an early age on a journey to find himself, seeking alchemy.
Just as he imagined, Sonny accomplished many of his childhood goals becoming a professional athlete in multi-sports, graduating from college with 2 degrees, working side by side with surgeons, and serving his country as a U.S. soldier.
The journey wouldn't be a journey without the roadblocks, and he runs into many - homelessness, joblessness, hopelessness, the loss of loved ones and friends, and doses of depression. Would he ever make it? Would he be the man his family would be proud of? Would he be the father his children needed? Would he be the man God intended him to be?
