Background
Jason's childhood was spent among hustlers and small-time crooks. The Army was his way out of a rough adolescence, but after he got out he drifted south to the Leonida Keys and fell back on the only trade he really knew: running errands for local drug smugglers.
Life in the Keys
He has a roof over his head thanks to Brian Heder, who lets him live in one of his properties for free as long as Jason helps out with the odd shakedown. His friend Cal Hampton works for Brian too. Jason says he wants a simple life, but it only seems to get more complicated.
Enter Lucia
Rockstar frames meeting Lucia Caminos as possibly the best thing that ever happened to Jason, or the worst. The two are GTA VI's playable pair, and previews say you can switch between them in free roam.
