In his childhood Nathaniel experienced a trauma he can’t talk about with anyone. He relies heavily on disassociation to cope.  He doesn’t feel  real  unless he’s doing something outrageous with all eyes on him. This results in a history of criminal activity and broken friendships. When someone from his past unexpectedly pops up in his new life, he’s pushed closer to facing his past. When he’s finally able to share what happened with his family it’s like a weight has been lifted from his chest and he finally can see a future for himself.
