Terry and Mike were cousins who were as close as cousins could be-more like twin brothers, really. They thought they were invincible and that the happy times would last forever, until the day their fathers headed off for their annual deer-hunting trip. That was when everything started to change, and their paths went in very different directions. Years later, another fateful event will send one of them to prison-and the other to a bartending job in...

The struggle of three brothers to stay together after their parent's death and their quest for identity among the conflicting values of their adolescent society.

Then one night, someone takes things too far.

When Nick learns that a kindergarten classmate and his own father not only look alike but have the same name, he wonders if they could possibly be the same person.
