Finn is second best to his older brother Alex.  The pressure to meet or exceed all of Alex's successes are suffocating Finn both at school and at home where there are constant reminders that he will always fall short in intelligence, looks, athleticism, and social skills. He would rather be invisible than continue to just be 'Alex's brother.' 

Each day is a depressing repeat of the day before, until one day when a blue envelope shows up in his locker. He assumes it was meant for someone else, but then the blue envelopes continue to appear. 

It becomes clear that they are meant for him, but what do they mean and what could the sender possibly want from someone like him?

Anxious Jeopardies

19 parts Complete

Ana has spent her entire life fighting for herself. After a series of tough decisions, she ends up working for a security agency where, for the most part, she's free to be herself. It's not until she's tasked with saving a little girl that she realizes what that means. Jake grew up with an average screwed up family. He has no idea where his father is, his mother is a token drunk, and he's barely surviving high school while taking care of his sister. She doesn't take charity and he really doesn't have much to give. They're both stubborn. They both have nothing to lose. So then why are they so scared?
