Nick is a man in his mid-twenties who is in a moment of transition. Trying to figure out how to move forward is difficult so his story must start with him sharing the reflection of himself that he always saw, one where he was nothing, because that is what he was told. His father didn’t give him the support he needed as a child but rather sat him down after a night of drinking and shared all of his deepest secrets then forced him to keep it a secret. When Nick found himself finally away, finally in college he was determined to find his group, his family and he sought them out in fraternity row. Instant friends sounded good but when things started moving in all the wrong directions Nick devised it would be easier to finish. The hazing isn’t too bad. He falls into a hole he can’t get out of, stealing from his mom, failing classes, being degraded by his future “brothers” until one evening right at the end… it all started with a drinking game that was no fun to play. After he his hospital stay, he forever had a hate/ hate relationship with alcohol, one where no matter what he did he lost. But then a friend, his best friend… his mom forced him to decide to save his life or figure the rest of it out on his own. This is a story about self-discovery and accepting that who we are is solely determined by who we choose to be.
