Darnell Martin (Cadillac Records, Hallmark Hall of Fame's The Lost Valentine) directs from a script by Ligiah Villalobos (Under the Same Moon). Cuba Gooding Jr. plays Dwayne Johnson (D.J.) a counselor at a women's correctional center who dedicates his professional life to helping young people reclaim their own self-respect through selfless service to others.

A talented group of actors portray the young women who have made mistakes in the past but are working to redeem themselves with D.J.'s help.
