Adam, 46, is a ruthless self-made millionaire married to an icy socialite living a picture-perfect existence that includes a teen princess daughter. Then he loses his job for slapping his assistant, Sophie, full across the face. For his violent act, Adam is sentenced to perform community service at a homeless men's shelter where Chance, a scrappy pit bull mix trying to escape the illegal dogfight circuit, teaches Adam about survival and what matters. Chance tells his story in his own words, which makes his mistreatment powerfully disturbing.
