|
Dave, born with Cerebral Palsy, has had to battle through life from the start. His first fight was to get an education. That led to having to deal with battles with bullies and teachers who chose to look the other way. With the help of his friends and family, he is able to overcome them! Once out of school, he discovers that one of the hardest things to do while disabled is finding a good job. Dave continually faces discrimination and abuse at the hands of employers while he fights to provide for his family. After his marriage fails miserably, Dave has a choice to make. The choice is, will he take the easy road and be an absent father? Or will he do what many think is impossible and choose to raise his daughter Lys as a single father? To him, the choice is simple! Dave decides to be the best dad he can. He knows it will not be easy, and they will face many roadblocks. Dave and Lys become a team. One that fights through everything, including a near-death experience due to the Flint water crisis.
