Biography
Adam Jackson was born in Texas and had a rather unfortunate childhood. His stepfather used to beat him and make him wear dresses before molesting him. Unknowingly, the abuse causes Adam to develop a protective split personality named Amanda, who would take over for Adam during the abuse, so he wouldn't have to suffer. Although Amanda took over for him, Adam was still haunted by his memories and took up drugs to cope. He was expelled from school for possession of drugs and had been arrested a couple times.
He was eventually hired at a hotel as a janitor and found a motherly figure in a woman named Julie Riley, who also worked at the hotel. During spring break at the hotel, a drunk guy named William Browder harasses Julie by the pool and Adam stands up for her. However, William pushes Adam down, which awakens the protective Amanda who proceeds to tackle William into the pool. After the altercation, that night, Amanda targets William. She seduces him, takes him up to a room, ties him to the bed, rapes him, kills him, and leaves his body in a fetal position in the closet. His body was soon discovered by Adam who showed up to clean the room the next morning.
