Synopsis
Reflections of a Heart: Takes place in the Bronx, New York, and Batesburg, South Carolina, between the years of 1946 and 1951. Shifting between times, Isaac, a World War II veteran, finds himself under siege by hardhearted detectives, social injustices, and his own missing memories. America welcomes back its native son, as a highly decorated war hero with plans of starting a family. Things go horribly awry when he begins traversing his past and present. Collisions are bound, as the resurrection of his memories forces his action. The fight for his country is over, as the fight for his life begins. Peppered with humor and heartbreak, this protagonist-structured story is based on true events in America’s social history.
