An illness has struck in the land and it is up to 13 men who are not infected by the illness to find a cure. Yet overpowered by pride, the men make it a race to see who will find a cure first. Though when all is lost they realize they have to work together to find a cure and.... save the world. When they return with the remedy, all is cured but the men make it their mission to show the message of working together and especially the message of humility.

Prison life is hard. Yet one certain prisoner makes life a little more bearable by baking a chocolate cake in the prison's kitchen. Though it is only a dessert, not only does it make the prisoners happy, it helps give a vibe of hope and togetherness. Together the prisoners learn to cope with each other's weaknesses and find each others strengths. It all started with chocolate cake...
