Description

---

Jack Leonard's father, Billy, is an alcoholic.

Billy isn't a bad guy. Friends would say he's the life of the party; his family might refer to him as harmless. After all, he isn't a mean drunk ... he's a happy drunk.

Unfortunately, these things tend to run in the family.

Jack is following in his dad's footsteps, future uncertain, when he meets Samantha. Fast-forward and his life is perfect. Or so it seems.

The Leonard family is going to be tested ... and only time will tell if they can survive.

Texas Jack is a compelling story about family relationships, redemption, and finding harmony with loved ones. It's about people at their best and worst, and that gray area in the middle.
