After washing
up on the Winnipeg shore, the arid Midwestern soil kept Sam running
in place. His old life behind him, he cleaned his apartment for
coins as his girlfriend took away her rent-paying job. After she
slammed the door, only his cousin's offer of work kept him from
his parents' basement.
Hired without
qualifications, and surrounded by suspicious and silent colleagues,
Sam frantically fished through his desk and paperwork, trying
to lift anything into the light which would explain where he was.
When Amy showed
up at his door, his initial reluctance to take on crew softens.
The mainsail could use an extra hand, and he could sail through
the night. Before long he is working on parenting and keeping
his head low for the storm that is sure to drive him onto the
rocks.
