Abandoned before he even took his first breath, a young boy grows up in the shadow of a father who chose betrayal over responsibility.
His mother, battered by heartbreak and legal battles, fought alone to secure a future for her son, while the man who left never once looked back, leaving a void filled with unanswered questions and silent pain.
