Sixteen-year-old Dain was born to trap lobsters. But when someone starts cutting his traps—someone who wants him off the water badly enough to start a lobster war—Dain faces a difficult decision. Set on the rugged Maine coast, this eloquent first novel follows a teenage boy's painful discovery of the frailty of human nature.
