Tides That Turn Jamal Cadoura

Based in Downtown Detroit, two unlikely characters forge an unforgettable friendship that sparks change and hope deep within their hearts, ultimately changing their lives in remarkable ways.

Matthew Stance is a dispirited, lonely soul wandering the earth simply because his heart still beats and his blood still flows. All he wants is to feel something again, to be his once-vibrant, energetic self. But heartache and loneliness are the only entities filling his life. The more Matthew tries to change for positivity, the deeper he sinks into depression's claws.

Charles is a tenacious homeless man who fights to stay alive. When he's not rummaging for food and a good place to sleep, he's reminiscing about his deceased wife, Elizabeth, and how his life once was. Somewhere amid his shattered dreams resides a glimmer of faith waiting to be rekindled.

And then a random bench near the sparkling Detroit River draws these two opposites together. What starts off as a fiery encounter quickly transforms into a beautiful friendship. A friendship that finally inspires Matthew and Charles to strive for the changes and lives they desire.
