On the surface, Ramiro Lopez and Jake Upthegrove couldn't live more different lives.
Ram is Mexican-American, lives in the poor section of town, and is doing his best to keep his mother sane while his brother fights off a drug-induced coma.
Jake is a WASP who drives a nice car, lives in a mansion, and has a mother who drinks a bit too much and a step-father who cheats on her.
But there is one point, one issue, where their lives are exactly the same; their fathers walked out on them when they wer.
