"I’m sitting right in the spot. I couldn’t be better positioned. I know he’ll be disgusted if I let the wave pass. The thought of it wrestles with my fear, then overcomes it, and with my heart in my mouth I put my head down and go."

When Mick travels to the west coast of Ireland, he’s irresistibly drawn to the beauty of the landscape, the wildness of the surf, and the charismatic madness of the locals.

But when he finds himself broke and desperate, and the opportunity arises to make an illegal quick buck, he takes it. It starts an unstoppable ripple effect with consequences more deadly than he ever could have imagined.
