Jack Turner is not the boy everyone expected. Everything about Jack Turner is fake, including Jack himself. Born Ethan Croswell, Ethan used to have the ideal family household but that all changed when his mom and dad separated, his mom taking his older sister while he stayed with his dad.
His dad being devastated by the separation, turned to the bottle, drinking every night until he either passed out or was to drunk to remember who Jack even was. Embarrassed by his father’s behavior Ethan began pushing his friends away, not wanting them to see what his father has become. This left Ethan alone with nothing but his computer, which he was on each and every day. What few people knew about Ethan was that he was highly intelligent in computer science and knew all the inter-workings of a computer.
Ethan first learned he could hack when he managed to hack into a video games that he played often by giving himself unlimited access that you usually have to pay for. Impressed with his skills, he decided to see what else he could get into by poking around on the school’s website and changing their mascot and school name. Eventually Ethan got better and better with hacking and built up more confidence and he started to hack into the school system to change grades for those who were willing to pay up. Ethan was kicked out of school a few weeks of changing grades because he got caught. He then worked toward getting his GED while he continued to learn how to hack. Eventually he started to hack into banks and gather banking information from customers and transfer funds from their accounts to his in seconds.
After a couple of months of doing this, Ethan met Tessa. Tessa was going through a shitty situation and Ethan felt bad for her and allowed himself to talk to her. Soon and with a shock to Ethan, he started to realize that he actually liked being around this girl. So when she asked him to hack into a government agencies and fake her birth certificate and created her a new social security card so she could disappear, he said yes without hesitation.
After Tessa left, Ethan found a sort of like in hacking into government agencies and poking around. He also knew that people would pay big to someone who could literally make them disappear. Ethan went onto the deep web and told a couple of people of his skill set and soon there were people asking him to help them disappear as well.
As the money flowed in, Ethan got more and more popular with the wrong people which made him cocky and forgetful. Hacking in one day to grab some social security numbers, Ethan forgot to set up an encryption, deeming him invisible and was instantly flagged and figured out by the FBI. Cursing, Jack immediately started erasing his hard dives and shutting down his computers but not before he emailed himself the Plan B file that contained his new passport, social security number, and birth certificate changing his name to Jackson Turner. He knew he had to leave before the FBI could track him down, so he packed only the bare essentials and ran off to a small town in Silver Lake, Michigan
