Gardner's rise from homelessness to broker powerhouse
A man named Gardner faces a brutal descent into homelessness after a failed job, legal troubles, and a custody loss. He endures jail, hotel rooms, a BART station, and transit with his son before rebuilding. By 1987 he runs his own firm in Chicago, supports educators, and eyes a $1 billion South Africa investment push with Ali memorabilia in his office.
