A moving story of struggle and conflict, but also triumph and optimism. Shelter staff and residents overcome pain, brutality and despair and move forward into lives of peace, empowerment, and hope. The life and death drama of domestic violence is the backdrop to the daily struggle of the workers in a shelter. Manager Nancy, counselors Monica and Paula, and administrative assistant Becky must cope with terror, judgment, and burn-out, and most of all, a new director with her own false agendas.
