Barry Price is a homeless man who has devoted his life to caring for wild animals in New Orleans. When his sanctuary is destroyed, he is determined to rebuild it on a larger scale and in a new location. He meets Carson Daiyes, a former classmate who has become a renowned self-help guru and runs a thriving marketing company. Carson hires Barry to assist in promoting a course that claims to transform a homeless man into a sales guru within 30 days, and the collaboration becomes unexpectedly successful. As Barry strives to rebuild his sanctuary and navigate his relationship with Carson, he learns about the strength of determination, the value of friendship, and the transformative power of new opportunities. This uplifting and inspiring story celebrates the resilience and determination of the human spirit.
