but Hurricane Katrina strikes and devastates his home and his
plans. The young boy's family is trapped on the roof of their
house, hoping and waiting to be rescued. When help finally arrives,
Hollis and his family are separated and sent hundreds of miles
apart. Taken to a shelter in a West Virginia church, Hollis must
reunite his family against all odds.
