We don't know a whole lot about Jason. We find out that he has recently turned 14. That he is on an international flight from the U.S. to London. We discover that he was orphaned, and was put into the State system where he was heavily abused. Jason learned, from the time of the death of his father, until now, the only person he could trust was himself. And now he was to be placed into the care of an unknown Uncle, his family, and in an unknown land.
