Summary

Like most boys, Jason Blake wants to please his father and older brother. But this erratic father and hyper-competitive brother challenge beyond the norm. To find his way, Jason tries on different roles: schoolyard bully, football player, actor, student.

At 20, Jason escapes his Midwest home and seeks independence and adventure - first to Cape Cod, later to Europe. Each adventure takes Jason farther from his father and brother. Each brings him closer to finding himself. When he returns home, the world as he knew it explodes, and Jason risks all to protect his mother from his violent father.

The dramatic and unforgettable course of events changes the lives in this family forever. And they promise to change the listener, too.
