Picture
MAX WENDT HAS A FAMILY

But it’s sliding sideways, and he has been complicit in its faltering. His wife and his daughter have pulled away from him amid his frequent absences, leaving him to bridge the distance between what he remembers and the way things are now.

MAX WENDT HAS A JOB

But it carries him away from home most of the time, and its dynamics are quickly changing. There’s a surprising new hire on his pipeline crew, strife among coworkers, and a boss whose proclivities put everything in peril.

MAX WENDT HAS A FRIEND

But this odd man Max meets during his travels perplexes him, prods him, pushes him, and annoys him. He sees something in Max that Max can’t see in himself, and he’s holding tight to his own pain.

MAX WENDT HAS A PROBLEM

More than one, in fact, and those problems are flying at him with increasing velocity. Can someone who has spent his life going with the flow arrest his own destructive inertia, rebuild his relationships, and find a better way?
