Summary

Many years ago, Anson saw a photograph on Jake's wall. It was a young Mick Jagger sitting next to an eight year old boy. When Anson asked if the boy was Jake's younger self, he only got a one word answer: "Yeah." Fifteen years later, Jake finally shares the story of how that photograph came to be on his wall and the heartbreaking childhood surrounding it.
