On a missionary trip, Bobby Mendez and his wife Korky have the responsibility to educate several dozen African children, some of them Oladoyinbo. Due to rebel fighting, the Mendez family accepts help from a Navy Cargo Ship and unwittingly the children wind up in America. They become refugees and then are separated from each other. JoJo fortunately winds up living with a professional baseball player Scott, who takes JoJo under his wing. JoJo flourishes under Scott’s guidance.
