A man who turns out to be Jimmy's father, Crab, whom he hasn't seen since he was a baby. Crab's got something to prove to Jimmy. Maybe he's not sure what it is. Maybe Jimmy's not sure he wants to hear it. But Crab's determined to break through to his son, and he knows this could be his last chance. So he takes Jimmy off on a trip halfway across the country to his old haunts. Because he has to show Jimmy who he was, who he is. His father.
