Growing up in a challenging environment in South Texas, Jack recounts the trials of having an alcoholic father and a rageaholic mother, leading him to retreat into his imagination.

A pivotal moment came when a family friend intervened, helping him move to Austin and check into rehab, marking the beginning of his recovery journey.
