Sometimes you feel like no matter how hard you try, nothing gets better. When you finally lose the will to work, you lose the will to live. It can either be your end or the beginning of something terrible. Isaiah is about to learn the results of both sides.

For the longest time, Isaiah Hormath has had a unique way of looking at things and the world around him. Unlike others, he can see what drives a person and what it means when they lose their will. The holy fire that men carry in their hearts is as clear to him as seeing the sky. He expresses what he sees and feels through the form of art and sculpting. It's the only thing he's ever been good at and the only thing that brings him joy. Can you make a living from it, though?

You'll never be able to live off of art. It's long past time for you to grow up and get a real job. Life doesn't come for free. You have to earn it.

Isaiah has heard it all. From his father to his extended family, they've always been there to remind him that he'll never make anything if he doesn't do something else. With the threat of having to take over his Grandfather's store, Isaiah must find a way to balance his hardship and his desire to make art. He will soon learn what it means to have the will of fire to overcome obstacles and what it means to fall to them.
