The story of Derrick Burroughs, former NFL 1st round draft pick for the Buffalo Bills, whose career was cut short due to a paralyzing neck injury vs the Houston Oilers in 1989. However, it is not just his career that was cut short; he takes you through his life from childhood to the present, where seemingly most of the things he deemed important in his life, whether athletically, academically, family, personal or life accomplishments all seem to have been erased or forgotten. To mask his pain and trust issues, he sought solace in promiscuity but found redemption by making peace with his past and inspiring others to learn and return, revitalize and nurture family, friends, and relationships.
