Brother Bill Tomes, a Catholic priest who has worked in Chicago's worst housing project for 17 years, patrols a dark hallway at Robert Taylor Homes. He has devoted his life to unconditionally loving the youths in Chicago's projects whose communities are devastated by violence, drugs and poverty. When gang violence occurs, Brother Bill rushes to the scene and stands between the warring gangs until the shooting ceases. He has been shot past over 50 times but never hit and attended over 160 funerals of youth he simply calls "my children".
