Jackson is a young man with an extremely overprotective fatther, Bruce. Jackson was adopted as a very young child, as Bruce is unable to have his own children. Jackson is an only child.

Bruce was always protective of Jackson, as Jackson suffers from shyness and social anxiety. But after Bruce's wife died in a car accident when Jackson was 16, Bruce became extremely protective and clingy towards Jackson. No matter where Jackson goes, Bruce will follow, and will always be by his side. From the moment Jackson wakes up to the time he goes to sleep, Bruce is there alongside him. Since his mother's death, Jackson hasn't been away from his father for more than 20 minutes.

While Jackson loves his father, he is miserable due to having no privacy or alone time. His social anxiety has only gotten worse, as he is severely embarrassed by having his father around. Jackson was homeschooled from a young age, and Bruce wouldn't let Jackson work or go to college out of fear that Jackson might fail. Although Jackson wants to leave his father, he has nowhere to go, as Jackson is financially dependent on his dad. And since Jackson has very little real world experience, he would struggle to find jobs or support himself.

Bruce is completely oblivious to the damage he is causing to his son. Bruce truly believes that he is acting in Jackson's best interests. Bruce is puzzled as to how Jackson hasn't been in any relationships yet, as he sees Jackson as a huge catch. However, all Jackson's potential partners have been scared away by Bruce's constant presence.
