Once a young boy full of curiosity and drive, Thomas Peterson was always eager to question the status quo. At school, he was the teacher's pet, always with his head down in the books, yet he loved to challenge the norms. His parents were his heroes: a caring mother who lovingly looked after her family and a hardworking father, who, despite his layered personal life, served his community as a police officer. However, beneath the surface of this seemingly normal family, trouble was brewing. The unexpected announcement of his parents' divorce sent ripples through Thomas's life, triggering a cascade of unsettling events. Following an unfortunate altercation, his mother mysteriously disappeared, only to tragically pass away in March 2004. Shortly thereafter, his stepmother vanished too, and his father ended up incarcerated. Amidst this whirlwind of instability, Thomas grappled with his circumstances, finding it difficult to socialize, keep up his grades, and deal with the emotional turmoil of losing loved ones.
