   Summary

   Reese knows what is expected of him: not much. He probably hears the words "stupid and reckless" being used to describe him every day. And it's been every day for years.

   Reese takes matters into his own hands, finding unconventional ways to cope with his low self-esteem. Little does he know just how much it's going to affect his family.
