Omschrijving

It's a brutally cold day in Buffalo, New York, one of those days when folks are hunkered down inside their homes, but for 71-year-old John Ross, a warm house, safe from the screeching winds which assault the city from the north, there is no warmth. For those who even notice him, a homeless man, wearing tattered clothes, thin and gaunt, with a thick gray beard covering most of his face, he is referred to as the Buffalo Kid, just another vagrant, who lives under a bridge in a cardboard box. People assume the worst of course, but no one, except a local police officer knows the truth about who the Kid really is and why he has walked the streets, destitute and penniless for 31 years. Despite his poverty, the Buffalo Kid has never relinquished his dream that someday he would get a second chance at life, and that maybe, before he clocked out for good, a chance to see his children who disappeared from his life as newborns. Plying the barren and bitterly cold streets one day, he meets a stranger who hands him a fifty-dollar bill and walks off. The encounter leaves the Kid stunned. Determined to find out more about the man, he follows him, and what ensues changes everything. This is a story about undying hope and that everyone deserves a second chance in life.
