Eric Earhart / Forgiveness

Eric Earhart was not your ordinary small-town bully. At the age of 12 he began a life of vandalism, drinking, and thievery; a pattern he embraced into adulthood.

After a failed commercial fishing endeavor, he began running drugs. His life was slipping out of control.

What seemed like a perfect life became an empty life which drove him to the edge.
