Thomas Clayton Gurley loses his mother, father, and sister to a
tragic car accident when he is only fifteen. With no family to care
for him, he's forced to live with the dreaded "Bastard Boats," his
father's half brother. Boats seems to have a vendetta against young
T. C., and it goes back to T. C.'s parents, although T. C. isn't
sure why.
In a new town, at a new school, under a hostile roof, T. C. has
to fight to survive. He joins up with the high school football team
just to get out of the house. He makes friends and begins to
experience new things-notably drugs, music, and girls. All the
time, though, Boats is on his back. There's a light at the end of
the tunnel when T. C. is taken in by Buck and Rosie Hagan, a local
foreman and his wife.
Even so, T. C. is haunted by the loss of his family and the
oppressive Boats. Something criminal is going down in their tiny
Oklahoma town, and Boats is at the center of it. As T. C. grows
into a man, he begins to realize the danger Boats could bring upon
the Hagans and T. C.'s group of friends. Boats's involvement with a
corrupt business cartel could cost lives, and T. C.-once an
innocent-will have to stand strong to protect the people he has
come to love.
