Rise of a Warrior
The Story
Jonathan Davidson is a seventeen year old teenage boy who struggles with the stress of graduating high school, finding a job, dealing with girl issues, and above all, grief from losing his mother. Terrified of the world outside high school and not ready to move on from his mother's death, the last thing he wants is a 'normal' life. But when he is mistakenly sent off without warning to Australia for a crime he didn't commit, Jon begins to see himself used in ways he never before imagined. Realizing he should have been more careful what he wished for, he now joins two bogan brothers on the adventure of a lifetime, desperately trying to find why he was forced ten thousand miles from home, what purpose he has here, and above all, trying to make it home again.
