The late teenage years are times to experiment, to flirt with
chance-taking and laugh at near-misses. Jason and Brian are
invincible, with miles to go before they sleep, and their good
times are bacchanalian. This Friday afternoon is no exception:
Jason, ignoring the fact that he is on the brink of failure, leaves
school early again to begin the party. He and Brian drink into the
afternoon; the warning of blue lights is not enough to end the
hilarity, and as lucidity morphs to black-out, Brian must make a
decision between carnal desire and adult responsibility. His sodden
mind is in no condition to deliberate, and the night turns tragic.
Having now to deal with the reality of prison, the loathing of a
community, the screaming of his demons and the battle with his
conscience, Brian is forced into very serious self-analysis, while
Jason uses his best friend's plight as a justification to continue
his own insane drinking behavior which could, ultimately, lead to
his need to find a bottom. Written by a recovering alcoholic, this
fictitious story contains would-be scenarios relevant to all mature
readers, for there are few degrees of separation between it, and
you.
