In season 1, James describes himself as a 'psychopath'. He believes this because he doesn't feel emotion and is plagued by thoughts of killing people and animals. He has killed many animals and believes he would want to kill a human but isn't sure who. A girl named Alyssa starts talking to him, and he thinks she is the perfect candidate. This follows his trait of letting things happen. He pretends to be in love with her so he can get her alone and kill her. While James is quiet but strange, Alyssa is very loud and stubborn. He lies to Alyssa frequently, telling her his mother lived in Japan while he actually was dead, and saying he had given oral sex to a girl when he had not. When Alyssa asks James to run away with him, he again agrees and he punches his Dad in the face and takes the car and goes. James had previously dreamt of doing that but never did until he bet Alyssa. While on the road with Alyssa, he thinks about killing her frequently, but never really does.

Biography

When James was little, he and his mother went to the lake to feed the ducks. Rather than climb out of the car with him, she instead drove into the lake, killing herself while James watched. The psychological effects of this witnessing this event, compounded by his father's inability to empathize with his trauma as a child, caused James to believe he was a psychopath. When he grew older, James stuck his hand in a deep fat fryer and began killing animals, both in an attempt to feel something. At the beginning of season 1, after killing dozens of small animals, James decides he wants to kill something bigger—a human.

Season 1

James and Alyssa steal James's dad's car and venture around England with the ultimate goal of finding Alyssa's father. Along the way, they stop at an abandoned house and stay there for the night. The owner, Clive Koch, comes home and find Alyssa in his bed. Attempting to make Alyssa another one of his murder-rape victims, he is stabbed in the neck by James who was hiding under the bed.

This sets up an investigation by the police; more specifically, Eunice and Teri, two detectives with a complicated past. While on the run, James and Alyssa part ways for some time Alyssa left the through a bathroom window. While on their own they learn more about who they are and what they want. They join together on the final step of their journey, meeting Alyssa's father.

Season 2

James ends up in the hospital from his injuries at the end of season 1, and he spends over a year in physical therapy relearning how to walk. A jury found him innocent of Koch's murder, but he was given a suspended sentence due to the other crimes he and Alyssa had committed on the road. Alyssa's mother visits him the hospital and forces James to write a break up letter to Alyssa, and the two lose contact with one another.

After being discharged from the hospital, James and his father agree to try to rebuild their relationship. Unfortunately, due to his habit of stress eating and his poor diet, James's father has a heart attack shortly thereafter, leaving James an orphan. James begins living out of his car and takes his father's ashes with him everywhere in season 2 until he drops them with Alyssa at the park where his parents met.

James begins stalking Alyssa as a means of making sure she doesn't get hurt, as she's his "last person left." Alyssa notices his car sitting outside her job and walks up to it before he can drive away, and the two are once again reunited. However, Alyssa reveals she's being married to Todd, a man she met in the country. James, who still has feelings for Alyssa, is shocked.
