  • #5 – Jesus Land
    After trying to connect with people from Chris's past, a few leads come up short. However, Chris recalls a story about his grandmother and mother trying to "help" his brother, Owen, when he was a young child.
    The deeper we go into exploring many of Chris’s stories, the more he becomes quite open about some of his past experiences, which he isn't proud of at all.
