Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Throughout his life, Max Rigney (Jacob Tierney) has been bullied by his wealthy father Sam (Jere Burns), who holds the family purse strings. Not only has Sam strongarmed Max into attending the same college as he did, but he has also forced his son to pledge to his old fraternity, which is notorious for its brutal hazing practices. Monica (Roma Downey) arrives on campus as a philosophy professor, which pleases the sensitive Max--but curiously strikes terror into the heart of Sam. Ultimately, Max must confront his father about a long-suppressed incident in the fraternity's past; and with the help of Monica's fellow angel Andrew (John Dye), the boy must also learn to make his own life decisions, based not on fear of what might happen, but on faith in himself.
