As Dorian’s life worsens with each passing day, he meets Josephus, who is a kindhearted noble Christian that treats Dorian with affection. Through their interactions, Dorian learns about living a life filled with faith, dignity, and redemption, something he has never experienced before. But overcoming his past is extremely challenging. While things seem hopeless, Dorian’s final chance to break free from the clutches of his violent reality and seek a better future lies in his ability to trust himself and embrace his untapped strength.
