Thor Eklund's Journey from Disillusionment to Legal Advocacy

In his early thirties, Thor Eklund shifted from a struggling Broadway production manager to a corporate law associate, only to find himself deeply unhappy and grappling with alcoholism after five years. Seeking a more fulfilling career, he ventured into criminal defense law, despite having no experience and facing financial difficulties, leading to a personal crisis as he approached 40. Thor's wife, a budding photojournalist, serendipitously connected him with Andrew 'Weave' Orenheimer during the Occupy Wall Street protests, where Weave was known for stirring controversy. This meeting became a turning point, as Thor, desperate to make a difference, offered to defend Weave, despite his own legal inexperience.
