Commissioned

Commissioned is a modern-day fable about doing what's right no matter who is involved. When Maxwell Simpson's adopted mother dies and he's abused by his adopted father, he becomes a runaway living on the street. He's taken in by an African American woman and her brother. Living with them he realizes discrimination is more real than he thinks. When he lands his first job as an investigative auditor for the Securities and Exchange Commission he is compelled to put not only his accounting skills to work but his belief system about racism. His first investigation puts him in the position to make a positive difference, as a white male, in the lives of two African Americans, Cara Mitchell and her boyfriend Anthony Howard.
