Forced to move out of his home from foreclosure, his family moved in with family members. The strain placed on him was too great and he soon found himself living alone, on the streets so that his family could stay where they were. With nothing to guide him, Jacob wandered the streets of New York. Then he FBI was moving from Manhattan to Brooklyn, Jacob rummaging through trash came upon a computer disc he found in a box. Since losing his job and life, this was the first thing he had that brought back all the good memories of his lost past.
