Sixteen-year-old Marcus is a young man living within a confused
world. His mother has developed an insatiable taste for alcohol,
his father is mostly absent, and his brother has been deployed to
Afghanistan. As unrest lurks inside and outside of his Brooklyn
home, Marcus begins a quest for answers to life's most difficult
questions.
Marcus has not heard from his father in months, but he still
agrees to meet him one evening-just so he can get away from his
mother and her obnoxious new boyfriend. Marcus's father looks like
he has a lot of class but really has none whatsoever; when he takes
Marcus to a greasy chicken joint to reveal that he is remarrying,
Marcus realizes nothing has changed. But for Marcus, life is about
to become more than he ever expected. After the police search his
home for drugs, secrets shatter his normalcy, and the only world
Marcus has ever known begins spinning out of control.
"When the Gods Speak through Rain" tells the poignant story of a
young man who is just trying to survive-even when it seems
impossible-and eventually finds hope in the realization that the
imperfections of others are really what makes them perfect.
