Hours after a powerful earthquake strikes San Francisco, world-renowned architect, D.T. Hiro, arrives from Tokyo and finds himself entangled in a violent street protest. Stepping in front of a police baton to protect a stranger, Hiro meets a kindred spirit. When the earth shakes, it tests more than the foundations of buildings. The death of a beloved street musician, the destruction of Alcatraz, and two gritty survivors ignite a vision of compassion that heals a city and changes the direction of a nation. As the story within a story unfolds, we follow an unlikely cast of characters who renew our faith in second chances.
