He was nobody's role model. Then he found out he was somebody's brother.

Wes Carter has spent his life outrunning his past — a childhood of broken homes, foster care, and a mother who chose her addictions over him. Now 29, he keeps his world small: fix cars, drink alone, never look back.

But when news comes that his estranged mother has died from an overdose, Wes is forced to return to the town he swore he'd never see again. There, he discovers a painful truth — she didn't die alone. She left behind a 14-year-old son Wes never knew existed.

Jesse is angry, reckless, and already halfway down the road that ruined their mother. He doesn't want saving. Wes doesn't know how to be anyone's hero. But as the court considers Jesse's future, Wes is faced with a choice he never expected: walk away like everyone else... or fight to become the kind of man he never had growing up.

Raw, emotionally charged, and deeply human, Somebody's Son is a powerful story about breaking cycles, the scars we carry, and how love sometimes looks like showing up — even when you're not sure you're ready.
