The family’s expectation of improving their situation rests on Victor, the oldest child and an outstanding student both academically and athletically. Through the help of a wealthy benefactor, Victor is given financial aid to attend a prestigious school and upon graduation, is awarded a scholarship to continue his studies in England. Tragedy strikes however, before he can leave the island.
