From the back of the DVD case:

"Job (Mark Wunder) has lost his family due to tragedy. Alone and full of guilt he gives up his worldly possessions and becomes a street poet to try and make sense of his life. In his journey to redemption, he meets a group of homeless street performers: a mime (Michael Loosle), a preacher (Mark "Tuff" Christopherson) and an old couple (Kim Page and Pat Donahue). Together they form a "family" and struggle against society and the city streets. Enter Amber (Jamie Kunz), a young runaway trying to escape a past full of turmoil and anguish. Alone and afraid she meets this "family." Will she survive the streets? Will she rescue Job from his past? Can she escape her own demons in order to create a better future?"
