Jess Mariano struggles to find purpose. He didn't graduate high school. He has no home. His family is off working through their own stuff. One fateful day things change. With choices made, life will never be the same. This is based on a Tumblr post & on Tim O'Brien's 'The Things That He Carried',(he wrote an episode of 'This Is Us' too). Please enjoy! Lovely heatherfield betaed!
