Jack is a lawyer who makes most of his money through the side activity as a bail bondsman. He has provided the bond for Guy Dupree, arrested for sending threatening letters to the President. When Guy jumps bail and runs off to Mexico and then Belize, Jack is determined to find him and bring him back to face justice, as well as to recoup the bond forfeiture. Jack follows Ray into Mexico, realizing that Ray has a better idea of where Ray is, but car failure requires that he stop. Eventually, Jack makes it to Belize but is arrested and placed in the local jail. He and Ray re-connect during the storm, as both are involved in sand-bagging. Released from jail, Jack eventually offers a ride back to the states to Ray and Norma. Upon his return to Arkansas, Jack is reimbursed for the bail forfeiture by Guy's father.
