His controlling Mother convinced him that SHE alone has the best formula for him to make quick and easy money. She constantly ingrained into him that education and charity work would not make him successful in this world. He made it to the top of his business empire using his street smarts and good looks. He is proud to live in his world without extending a helping hand to anyone in need. \nLater in life\, he is at the brink of death and is in need of a bone marrow transplant. Being that the people in the community knew about his evil ways\, will anyone have the heart to step up and give him another chance in life to become a law-abiding citizen?
