All the while, his family suffered in trying to help him. His dad, David, especially who would drop everything to be a one-man search party. However, there comes a point when David asks himself: Where is that line where perseverance meets fighting for a lost cause?

After all, with his second wife Karen, he has two kids who are not even teenagers yet and he can’t keep abandoning them for his oldest. He can’t keep exposing them to Nick being well and the big brother they deserve to disappearing on them. Jasper, the middle child, seems to know Nick is on drugs.
