Publisher's Synopsis
Paul was walking in darkness ever since the death of his mother. He tried escaping the pain by quitting school and running away, leaning heavily on drugs and alcohol. Years later, Paul returns for the funeral of his good friend Peter. He finds himself sitting in his bedroom after the service, looking at his fishing poles and reminiscing about the day he and Peter had met him - the Old Man by the river. He falls asleep, trying to recall the ancient wisdom the Old Man had passed onto him and Peter. Paul awakes in darkness and heads out to go fishing, hoping to recapture some of the magic of the river. He meets Bill, the owner of his favorite bait shop, already fishing in his favorite hole. Little does either of them know the plans that have been made to help them see the Light.
