This City is Empty

This spectacular story of two wounded souls healing each other breaks all mental boundaries. Willie's success in football culminated in an invitation to join the Dallas Cowboys, which seemed to guarantee him a great future. He played impressively; however, blows of fate were not as easy to resist as sports' rivals were. The indifference and betrayal of loved ones forced Willie into an inner fortress; he lost all interest in life. Changing jobs yet again, he became a janitor at a hospital. Here, he encounters a young immigrant who has gone through great losses and the horrors of war, and is now fighting cancer. At the MD Anderson Cancer Hospital, people call him an angel. Will this "angel" who has preserved a human love inside be able to untie Willie from his past and set him free? Everyone meets his or her own "angel" in life. Sometimes, it is another human being; sometimes it's a book.
