The River

You can try to outrun nature...but will you survive one man's fury?

Two friends

Wynn and Jack have been best friends since their first day of college: a gentle giant from Vermont and a rugged kid raised on a ranch in Colorado, brought together by their shared love of literature and the great outdoors.
