Suddenly, his children are found to have a severe genetic disease that they inherited from one of their biological parents. It means they both will soon become disabled. What will he do? Will he accept this circumstance and bury his plans for a perfect life. Or, will he defy this destiny and castle the pieces on the chessboard to reverse the game's course in his favor?
