James Hoffman was a sweet and smart seventeen year old boy whose family and life meant the world to him. But the growing strains between him and his father, Darren was so hard and frustrating for him, so he would join a fight club, started secretly by some of his fellow students from Hanford High School. This a very out of character thing for some of the members (all male) including James. But one teenage boy, Cole "Ares" Palmer was a champion of the "sport" and really enjoyed it; he was also the leader of the club. Also, another teenage boy, Tanner Lennox was also very good at it and joined for the same reason like James: to vent out his frustrations, caused by his family (specifically his father). Well, tragically, James wouldn't live long to mend things with his father and graduate from school next year (he was a junior). He was brutally beaten to death by Arthur Lennox, Tanner’s father after he refused to give in to be silent after witnessing his son brutally attack Martin Jacobson, a forty two year old husband and father to a young son, who would later die of his injuries.
