Martial arts was one thing that Shawn, a 15-year-old boy from a small California town was good at and he knew it. But, it was his misguided anger from his parent's separation that got him into trouble. When Shawn's Sensei found out that he had been starting fights, he rallied to set Shawn straight giving him two choices, to either quit the arts that he loved so much or to take him and his friend on a quest into the wilderness. It takes a fight with persistent bullies to encourage Shawn to choose a quest into the heart of the wilderness, a place he has never been before. The deeper they traveled into the shadows of the ancient forest the greater the mystery became. With the help of a spirit guide, he pushes himself beyond his wildest dreams. The solitude only seems to make his imagination come alive as he challenged his mind, body and spirit. Despite all he has learned, felt and seen, he finds that his hardest challenge was yet to come.

Jordan Gunn can't swim-at least he can't swim in the cold, dirty lake at summer camp. Fortunately, he meets Nick Dietrich, the waterfront director, who helps him overcome his fears and eventually have enough confidence to pass his swimming test and learn to kayak. Jordan's first relationship with Nick is that of hero-worship. When Jordan helps Nick rescue two of Jordan's friends from the lake at night, Jordan's hero-worship turns into a deep friendship. Later, Nick takes Jordan on his first whitewater kayak trip in northern Wisconsin on the Wolf River. Jordan discovers that it's much harder to kayak on a moving river than on a lake and he is terrified of the rushing water. Early in the trip, Nick is seriously injured in an accident that Jordan thinks he caused. Since Nick can no longer paddle, Jordan must overcome his fears of the water and paddle by himself almost twenty miles to the take-out point to get help to rescue Nick. After Nick is rescued, Jordan must confront his guilt and somehow maintain his friendship with Nick.
