A sizable bounty is placed on the great fish and an international buzz erupts; fishermen and media from around the world flock to the small lake in droves. Veteran fishing captain, Reggie Steele and sons stroll into town with their fancy boat & gear and boldly claim that they will use whatever means necessary to capture and kill The Beast.

Synopsis: ‘Finding Family’ dares to take a look at a very unique and very troubled family that finds the strength to keep working together for a better future. In this story we follow the Taylors, a couple who decides to adopt three children from the American foster care system, and quickly find out that the task is way harder than they anticipated. Diane and Malcolm, adopt Monique, Kendra ad Jamal in an effort to contribute their grain of sand towards a better future, by giving these three young children a real chance at life. The script makes no effort to hide the fact that the children have been broken by years of neglect, parental abandonment and a government system where they were numbers. The siblings lash out in different ways and struggle mightily in an (unfamiliar) loving and caring environment. The Taylors remain steadfast in their resolution to help the children with the hopes of raising new generation better than they could possibly imagine. In response to this unrequited love that endures and understands, the children begin to open up, to grow and learn, to realize their self-worth and become better people. Finding Family shows us what genuine family love can look like, a love that endures all, a love that doesn’t care about blood ties or origins, a love that may inspire you to give a second chance at life to those who were denied even a first.
