But when he was twelve a robbery went bad, a gun went off, and Brandon's mother disappeared, never to return. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLeft all alone, Brandon burned with anger. And questions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat happened that night? Why did his mom leave him behind? And why didn't she ever come back? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow he works a monotonous 9-5, pining for the girfriend who dumped him.
