Skeet Waters does a lot of growing up over a short spring break. He catches his first tarpon with a fly, he struggles with his parents' separation, and he discovers a murdered manatee. In solving the murder mystery, he learns he must look beyond physical evidence. A cheesy epilogue takes the spark out of this fiction.
