Suffering from manic depression, he has trouble finding employment. After the tragic death of his parents in a car crash, the only family he knows is military men and women.

History professor Bill Verde and his wife, Millie, learning about Jack from one of Bill’s colleagues and agree to help him get back on his feet.
