Hanukkah: Eight Nights and Lives Intertwined is the story of a young man forced to witness the murder of his own father during the holiday of Hanukkah. Sammy Reubens is a tough, seventeen year old kid from the Bronx who blames the rest of the world for turning his life upside down. It is only through his immediate remaining family, the street gang he hangs with, and the compassionate community surrounding him, that Sammy comes to realize and act the way his own father would have wanted. Sammy's Bar Mitzvah did not make him a man. The death of his father is going to have to.
