Jalen Hamilton was born in the Norwalk suburb of Los Angeles, to an unwed mother who had to work multiple jobs to support him. With no father and mom always working, Jalen was essentially raised by his auntie. Jalen probably would have ended up in a gang, if not for his obsession with Pop Warner football.
He was a natural superstar who ate, drank, and breathed football right through high school and rode that into a football scholarship to the University of Virginia and a ticket to a better life.
Life was really turning around for Jalen, but at the beginning of summer in his sophomore year Jalen's mother passed away. Returning home for the funeral, Jalen was devastated and began to feel the weight of being alone in the world.
Seeing how depressed Jalen had become, his old auntie chose to go against her sister's wishes and told Jalen about his real father for the first time.
Now Jalen is determined to find the father who wasn't there for him or his mom for all of his life. What he doesn't know is that his absentee father is a Monster Hunter with unusual abilities, and Jalen himself is not exactly normal either.
His life is about to get very weird...
