He is CEO of a successful commercial real estate conglomerate, husband to the infamous Gennifer Davenport-Bydon, an Atlanta socialite, and father to Marvin, a rambunctious 16-year-old. But in the shadows of his life, he is plagued by nightmares of his deceased mother and the horrid death of his friend, Tommie. His childhood memories of the rough, poverty-stricken South Atlanta neighborhood he grew up in force him to face the harsh realities of what he sacrificed to obtain the wealth and notoriety he struggles to hold on to. Coupled with his decaying marriage and a barrage of trouble lurking just beneath the surface of his career, Conrad’s journey to self-discovery leads him towards an unpredictable path of adultery, financial ruin, and ultimately, suicide. But through the grace of God, Conrad’s life is spared, and he becomes a testament of God's love and commitment to those who follow Him.
