Summary

A small riverside community fights to stave off economic ruin. Friends and neighbors are as unaware of their strengths as they are their diversity. One young man among them weighs his diminishing options buoyed only by the spirit and support of an unlikely mentor. The river appears a constant reminder of what is lost and adrift and what is bound onto its diminishing banks.

A small group of unlikely friends join together in support of one another only to discover their boundaries are self-inflicted.

No one is unknown to the Beadle of Lower Port and no one is here by chance. He perceives the coming change and guides his followers from quiet confinement to unlimited expanse. Only in confronting the future could such an unlikely past ever be revealed.
