Tristan's story begins in the cosy Houston suburbs, as he breaks away to follow his dreams, and leave behind whatever it is that brings him down. On his adventure he wants to entertain us, to open up with us, and reach hearts all over the world. From attempts to channel great writers, to spilling his emotions about his relationships and chasing athletic prominence, Tristan is destined to become a hero in the pages of North America's literature.Beautiful Vancouver gives a home to most of the novel. It documents their lives, their obsession with hockey, it exposes corruption and gives the brightest stars their proper shine. Tristan writes as his family is ruptured, his father twice divorced, his brother floundering. It is up to Tristan, and his newest friend Maisie, to pick up the pieces of the world around them. This is Andrew James' (Andrew McCarthy's) first novel.
