Rob Carrey arrives at the Fenton School with a scholarship to row and a chip on his shoulder. But first Rob must complete months of preparation driven by their captain, Connor Payne's vicious competitive nature. As the race nears, the stakes rise, tempers and lusts are fueled, and no one can prevent the horrible tragedy that befalls one of them. As much about the sport of rowing as it is a novel of finding oneself, not once, but again in mid-life.
