The Hillsborough County Community Violence Prevention Collaborative (VPC or Collaborative) was created in the summer of 2013 as an initiative to transform the way local policy makers address violence.
This initiative shifts policy from a public safety to a public health model and aligns community and professional stakeholders to develop a comprehensive prevention and intervention approach.
At age eighteen, Jayden Morton was sentenced to twelve years in prison for manslaughter after accidently shooting and killing an innocent child.
Released shortly after his thirtieth birthday, Jayden wants two things, to be a father to his twelve-year old son, Noah, and to find a way to redeem himself.
Juggling the pressures from the outside world. Jayden must confront his past, seek redemption and convince his son to avoid the same mistakes he once made before Noah makes the greatest mistake of his young life.
