In the course of Cornell’s struggles in the classroom and his psychological warfare with Matson, he soon finds himself fighting the ultimate battle of his life. Will he make the right decision? Out of desperation, will he follow in the footsteps of the neighborhood hustlers and gangsters, or choose the higher calling of becoming a soldier in the Army of the Lord Jesus Christ?
