Uncuffed producer Daniel Cowie didn't grow up knowing his father. What he did know about him was that he had hurt his mother deeply.
Still, he longed to know more about him. But he struggled to put his pride to the side and reach out, especially after his first attempt yielded no response. However, after a conversation with his friend at Solano State Prison, Cowie had a change of heart — and ended up finding family he didn't even know existed.
