Nathan Gallagher

Chicago... ... Anytime anyone mentions the name, it's always associated with the musical, the basketball team, and of course, deep dish pizzas. That's the typical hogwash they tell tourists... but no one knows about the rising homelessness situation growing in these big cities. Nathan Gallagher used to be the person who would pass the homeless in the streets, believing that someone else would take care of the problem. He had been too trusting, too naive, believing everyone around him wished him well. He was the star quarterback in high school, graduated with a 3.5 GPA, and he wasn't even trying, then he easily got into college through a sports scholarship. Everything was going well for him. Little did he know that he would soon be on the other side of the spectrum owing to his friend's betrayal. His late father's name and business were sold to the highest bidder, his family blamed him and disowned him, and he became homeless. When they turned up with food parcels, he hadn't expected much, but their patience, kindness and support got him through the darkest of times. So when a random scratch card he bought turned out to be the jackpot of a lifetime, he vowed that not only would revenge taste better than a deep dish pizza, but he would also be the one to get the girl and the happy ending, using his own strength.
