He decides to go to "The Club" after being intrigued merely by its name, and little to his knowledge, turns out so be a soup kitchen. Over time, he becomes accustomed to the way the homeless are treated and how life on the streets really is. At this soup kitchen, he meets war veteran Sarge, whom suffers from PTSD following his role as a UN peacekeeper in the Rwandan genocide.
