His encounter with Doree (Roberts), a virtuoso, and their relationship steadies him personally as he suffers setbacks in his career. Once he begins feeling that his words alone aren't enough to bring about a change, he turns to his true calling that shapes his words into action, resulting in the creation of Convoy of Hope.
