Over the years, Sean has grown to resent his father_s perfectionism and interference in his hockey. He faces enough pressure dealing with the goaltending competition to make the Mustangs.

He_s being charged with negligence following a fatal accident on one of his well sites. Is his father guilty? When Sean discovers that the dead man is actually the father of his prospective girlfriend, Laura, he decides to investigate the credence of his father_s story.
