When Chris’s girlfriend Linda leaves him, Chris becomes a single parent to his son, Christopher. However, Chris’s determination is ultimately rewarded when he secures an unpaid internship in an incredibly competitive stockbroker training program, which only one out of twenty interns passes. But because Chris has no income, he is evicted from his apartment with his son, and father and son are forced to sleep on the streets, in homeless shelters, and even behind the locked doors of a subway station restroom. With his self-confidence and the love and trust of his son, Chris Gardner overcomes the hardships and rises to become a legend on Wall Street.
