Destiny leads us to our fate – However; sometimes there is a path we may choose; ultimately leading us to where we want to be.

Born with nothing; Nathan lived a life he didn’t like. An absent father, and a lost mother (who was anything but a caretaker) were never around. Day-dreaming about his miserable past, and doing something death-defying, was the only comfort Nathan had, as his daily repetitive routine life played out. It was the only thing that made him feel somewhat safe, until one day his determination to take a new path was something he could no longer ignore.
