He returned from the Great War a decorated hero, but inside, twenty-year-old Ernest Hemingway was bleeding to death.
The mortar shell that shattered his leg in Italy left invisible shrapnel in his mind, and the polite, suffocating parlors of his hometown offer no defense against the screaming night terrors.
Desperate to outrun the ghosts of the trenches, Ernest flees north with two friends into the remote, unforgiving wilderness of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
But the sanctuary he seeks has been incinerated by wildfire—a blackened, apocalyptic wasteland that perfectly mirrors the ruin inside his own head.
Here, on the freezing, solitary banks of the Fox River, the boy who will become a global icon faces his absolute breaking point.
Armed with only a bamboo fly rod, a canvas tent, and a frantic need for control, Ernest must strip away the romantic lies of his youth to survive the suffocating trauma of the present.
What he pulls from the dark water won't just save his life.
It will forge a literary revolution that changes the written word forever.
