What drew me to Jake's story wasn't just the twists and turns.

It was the way it challenges how we see people who are too often written off. Jake has this rare magnetism. Even as he lays bare his darkest moments, betrayal, violence, the ghosts of his past, there's no bitterness, it's just raw honesty. Somehow he finds understanding, for himself, for those who hurt him, for the pain that shaped them all. On paper, Jake is a lot of things.

Jake was the one who introduced Ellen to heroin. It's an uncomfortable truth, one that he carries with deep regret. Heroin is horribly addicting, and even those who manage to break free live with this constant pull. There's always that lingering temptation.

And in the moments of immense stress, when the world feels unbearable, and you feel like you're barely surviving, the need for escape can become overpowering. Back when Jake was first diagnosed, his stepdad Eli and his wife Ina were trying to go visit him in the hospital.

Adrian, Jake's ex and dealer, also had a few heroin-related encounters with Ellen.

So here was Jake's wife, potentially struggling to overcome her own addiction with this unimaginable stress looming over her and the determination to save her doomed and dying husband. Oh, and she had also been living with Jake's dad, Derone, at this point because Derone had let them move in and was counting their rent payments as payments towards eventually buying the home from him.

Derone was also using. He had crippling back pain and it moved to Texas and a new doctor resulted in very little access to the pain medication he'd once been prescribed. One thing led to another and suddenly Derone was using heroin. But Derone told me that the day of Jake's diagnosis, he quit. Cold turkey. But I do think that this helps add some context as to what is happening at home.
