SET in the Wisconsin town of Little Wing, this tells of the lives of four friends, Hank, Leland, Kip and Ronny. Some, like famous rock star Leland, and rodeo star Ronny, left town long ago; but Hank, our protagonist, has stayed.

Ronny, who has suffered brain damage from drinking, returns to the familiar surrounds of his childhood and Leland also retreats back to Little Wing. Against this background emerges a story of friendship, loyalty and family.
