Arrested and in handcuffs, Mom arrived with prayer on her lips, salvation in her words and Kingdom in her soul. All for her son.

How would you feel if you got this news? Aquil's father died and when told, something broke inside.

A shank made to kill himself hidden under his pillow and an old white man approaching his cell door, both scenarios make for a disaster about to happen. God had other plans however, and Alonzo saw the face of an Angel looking through the bars.
