He is even asked to give the commencement speech at graduation. Blade writes a song for the event and is looking forward to sharing it with everyone. But just as he starts to play, up rides a crazy man on a motorcycle, screaming and hooting and crashing into the stage. Yep, this is the famous rock star -- Rutherford. And he is drunk again. And he has ruined Blade's big day. Blade has had enough of this fool and his antics. But his sister begs him to give her father another chance. In a heated argument with her, the truth comes out.  Blade is adopted. How could he not know that? This is when his journey begins. He is determined to find his birth mother and ask her why she gave him up. The journey eventually takes him to Africa and to some truths that he could never have imagine.
