Description

"Vengeance is sought by many.Forgiveness found by few" Fifteen years ago on the Fourth of July, Leon Anthony stared into the trusted eyes of his beloved father, then up at the fireworks and to the stars. His father's words echoed in his mind: "Forgive him, my son." As Leon stood over his father's lifeless body, his hands became little fists, still wet, dripping with his father's blood. The blurred image of a tattoo remained branded into his consciousness, the tattoo of the man who had murdered his father in cold blood. Now a grown man, Leon returns to Miami with a need for revenge burning deep in his soul. He vows to find his father's killer and finally eradicate years of guilt and pain. But retribution must take a backseat as Leon finds himself torn between the love of two women and forced to face his mother's painful secret. Leon learns that within the hurt, innocence can be lost and the man along with it. To survive, he must prove himself worthy of the love of a woman and, ultimately, the love of his father. But when one knocks upon the door of the past, there is always the chance that someone will answer.
