Episode Nine is here— and with it comes our very first HERO’S STORY.

Jonathan was just your average shy, emo 15 year old kid— until a schoolmate brought a 9mm to the classroom, threatening to kill everyone in sight. Thinking fast and knowing he wasn’t going to die a sitting duck, Jonny Boy took it upon himself to DISARM and BEAT THE HELL out of the would-be mass-murderer. All of a sudden, Jonathan was a national hero, even appearing on programs like 'Dr. Phil' to tell his story of bravery and strength. Sounds crazy, right?! Well, what’s even CRAZIER is that that’s just the BEGINNING of Jonathan’s story, as this heroic incident — while initially bringing him notoriety and popularity — led him down a confusing path of anxiety and self-destruction. Once again, Jonathan had to find the strength to confront the beast in front of him. And once again, he BEAT THE HELL out of it!
