Jack burns his picture out of the school yearbook and his family sends him for psychiatric help. A thief and drug dealer, he flees his family after high school and goes to Florida. There he hears the gospel at a rescue mission and feigns conversion. A motorcycle accident causes him to bargain with God but he doesn’t keep his promises. He drinks too much, is charged with rape and spends a year in county jail where another inmate preaches to him. When he violates parole he goes to prison, gets serious with God and goes back to witness to his family as the first part ends.
