Danny has nearly nothing left. His food has run out, his money is gone, and hope feels like a distant memory. Then he discovers Papa's house, a place that offers him refuge when he needs it most. Inside, he meets Lucy and Gammy, but Papa himself remains absent. Danny begins searching for answers. Who is this Papa that everyone speaks of? Where does he actually stay when he's not in this house that bears his name? As Danny digs deeper into the mystery, he finds more than just clues about Papa's identity. The house holds something Danny didn't expect to find again. The same hope that begins to restore Danny's spirit extends beyond his story, reaching toward anyone who needs to believe in second chances.
