A distant gunshot rings out as a young man works alone in a half-grown cornfield. It's sunny and hot and the breeze isn't strong enough to cut through the humidity. The young man tries to hide beneath the waist-high plants but the shooter soon finds him-beats him when he tries to escape and then takes him to the headwaters of the Missouri River in rural Montana-the beginning of a journey full of money and power-pain and love and camaraderie and crime.
The young man is tasked with leading a group of disenchanted young outcasts down the Missouri River on a dangerous adventure that will take them all summer-selling homemade ketamine along the way as they dodge the police, angry landowners, wild thunderstorms and desperate drug addicts.
Follow the young man as he tries not to drown in the storm-churned muddy waters of his new life-as his criminal behavior gets more natural and more violent-as he falls in love and forges friendships-as he tries to break free from the monster who set them on their course-the man who expects his cash in Kansas City.
