Brady relieved his sorrow by working for the property of the DiAngelo family but it found evidence that the kayak was destroyed by his two friends, JT and Digger. Destruction involves a way that Brady thinks it is an illusion, although it was not intended to be carried out: to drill a hole in the bottom of the kayak and to block them with a water soluble filler. In the central part of this book, Brady faces friends, feels responsible, conceals evidence, reviews the correct course of action, and generally suffers weakness, inner and moral conflict.

In the last part of the book, Brady did "right" things and told his father everything. They repaired the kayak that was still sunk in the water, and clearly showed a hole drilled in the hull. Brady testified to the authorities who agreed to immunize him in exchange for his testimony. After all, he was relieved that the decision passed to his friend was not so harsh: the forest of 9 months was restored with a minor work camp. DiAngelos sells their property and starts over from other places. Life continues to be brady, he was a best friend in the past

The novel covers the life of Brady for about 6 months, but the nature of the story needs to be restored frequently to the early occurrence.
