Mother Theresa once said “there is much suffering in the world - physical, material, mental.  But the greatest suffering is being lonely, feeling unloved, having no one.” CHUCK WALLACE, a 35 year old Gulf War Vet can attest to this first hand.  Day in and day out Chuck endures each of the above mentioned types of suffering; he is run-down from years of living on the street, homeless and void of possessions, and plagued by his own inner demons who torture him relentlessly.  But above all else Chuck Wallace is desperately and hopelessly alone.  Since the death of his mother, father, and sister in a tragic car accident Chuck has been left with no one to care for him.  Even his own brother, the last surviving family member he has left, has forsaken him, and refused to contact him whatsoever since the death of their family.

      But one random July afternoon a chance meeting with a kind soul sparks a flicker of hope in Chuck’s dark world.  While begging for change outside a local coffee shop Chuck encounters SHERRY DONOVAN, a kind-hearted nurse who works at a local clinic.  She buys Chuck a coffee, and with that starts a friendship between the two that would alter both of their lives drastically.  The following day Sherry again sees Chuck outside the coffee shop, but this time it is Chuck who helps her.  He pulls her out of the way of a speeding Jaguar, driven by a careless individual who incidentally has passed by Chuck time and again without a second glance.  This act of heroism on the part of Chuck forges a real bond between Sherry and himself, and now the young nurse is determined to help this troubled man rebuild his life and expel his loneliness while at the same time, trying to get a grip on the one thing that can fill the emotional void she has. 

      With Sherry’s help Chuck’s condition greatly improves, even the inner voices that have relentlessly tormented him since the death of his family have subsided, but Sherry is not satisfied with the progress she has made. She has helped to heal Chuck both physically and mentally but it is apparent to her that his deepest wound still remains untreated, his loneliness.  She decides that in order to bring Chuck’s recovery full circle, and fulfill her own need of self acceptance, she must reunite him with his brother...
