Dale Sylvanus has work to do. Battle-tested ex-Marine, Dale Syvanus pulls double duty as the town handyman for the humble citizens of Hunter, Michigan...the quiet lake community situated in the heart of Michigan’s rugged Upper Peninsula...and driving his wrecker around the back country roads and byways that surround Hunter Lake, helping stranded motorists. But Dale’s real work is at home, where his wife Carrie is not-so-patiently waiting for him to get his act together. His old drinking buddies–ironically referred to as “The Puppies” by the good folks of Hunter– have been taking up entirely too much of his time. Though they’re mostly harmless, those boys are generally up to no good. It’s been months since Carrie rightly showed him the door, and Dale knows he’s got no one but himself to blame, but with the echoes of Afghanistan still shouting in his ears, Dale’s escapes often come at the expense of those he loves. Luckily for Dale, help comes in the form of an old free-spirited priest named Father Bill, who’s no stranger to the hard life. Will his guidance be enough to help Dale find his redemption?
