"Compelling characters and poignant philosophical questions drive The Narrows.... An excellent family drama with suspense and heart." —IndieReader
A harrowing extraction of members of a religious cult goes awry. Junior high teacher Larry Brown teams up with experienced extractor nicknamed Black Lightning to rescue his cousin from a cult. But the mission is complicated by Larry's unfaithful girlfriend and the drowning of another cult member in the Charles River. And then Larry's cousin isn't as willing as Larry hoped. These events work together on a day in a family vacation home on Cape Cod to turn Larry's world upside down.
Spanning a ten-day period, The Narrows chronicles the personal and social challenges that took place during the cultural transformation of the 1970s.
