In one night, in one fire, Roger Amarante's life changed forever. He lost everything, and more importantly, everyone he ever loved. But what he doesn't remember can't hurt him, right? His seven-year stint at the Faja Rasa Retirement home has left him confused and empty to say the least. He doesn't know why he's there, who he is, or what has happened. He hates the nurses with a passion, and has not uttered a single word in the whole time he's been there. When he meets an over-achieving college student with a bit of a chip on his shoulder, his life once again changes forever. Michael Ponte is searching for the heart he apparently lacks, so that he can achieve his childhood dream of becoming a Fire Fighter. When he crosses paths with a disgruntled, beaten down mess of a man, his heart is tested. Will they have the strength to conquer what they fear is impossible? Some hurdles are harder than others to overcome.
