On November 26, 2000 Jess and Theresa Chairez lost their 24-year-old son, Rebecca lost her fiancé, the city of Sacramento lost a well-respected police officer and the world lost an exceptional young man. Joe Chairez, badge #238, died spontaneously while on duty. Joe had it all. He was handsome, young and driven by a real passion to help those in need. Then suddenly, he was gone.

Through multiple stories of grief and recovery, we see what happens when true heroes die and find out they never really do.

Motivated by deep gratitude for the donor family that saved her own daughter’s life, director Colleen Stymeist-Wood follows another donor family as they struggle through the grieving process to find a higher state of healing and acceptance...each in their own way.
