He strides into any situation with the cocky confidence and sense of entitlement of a guy who was born for prestige. But behind the mask, he's desperately trying to learn what's normal ; years of hiding his emotions from a stone-cold father have left him at a loss. Empathy doesn't come easy for Sam - he knows how to make a good first impression, but after that, things sometimes go sideways.Sam is the only son of a dysfunctional, high-ranking military policeman. He grew up on international military bases, doted upon by his homemaker mother, and he developed an uncanny gift at sharp-shooting - a dangerous skill when combined with an itchy trigger finger. But Sam carries secrets connected to his time in Afghanistan and his discharge from the army - secrets his new teammates wouldn't be happy to find out about. Lucky for him, his father had enough pull to keep his son's discharge quiet.
