Plot Synopsis

Andrew Jenks documents the lives of people, showing the extraordinary lives of seemingly ordinary Americans. In Season 1, Andrew walked in someone else's shoes -- for real. Each week, as shown in 30-minute episodes, he lived with a stranger -- a homeless person, a rapper, someone in a nursing home, a supermodel or anything in between -- and explored their lives, interacted with their family, hung out with their friends and generally saw the world from their perspective. With cameras rolling every hour, every day, Andrew's experiences continuously changed how he perceived and interacted with the subjects and the world around him. When WORLD OF JENKS returned for it second season on Monday, March 4, 2013 at 11pm ET/PT, Andrew followed three young people over the entire season of ten, one-hour episodes. In Season 2, Andrew documented the lives of D-Real, Chad (a favorite from Season 1) and Kaylin, chronicling their struggles to overcome the constant threat of gun violence, the challenges of living with autism, and battling the fear of cancer returning at such a young age.
