15-year-old Jay Hunter has but one goal in life: to get out of the Falls. Life in this tourist town doesn't hold much promise for a teenage boy, unless recreational drinking counts. And even that isn't much fun for the son of a recovering alcoholic. But everything begins to change when his mother reveals a remarkable family history: Jay's great-grandfather was one of the most famous river men who ever lived, saving people who'd jumped into the Falls, retrieving the bodies of those he couldn't save, and going over the Falls himself in a barrel. With the help of an equally notorious river man, Boomer Williams, Jay immerses himself in the history of the Falls, learning about his family's past and about himself, too. Suddenly, life holds new meaning - as well as a challenge that Jay finds irresistible.
