Dark of the Sea

Obsessed with girls, devoid of muscles and faced with hostile teachers and a reading disability, 15-year-old Danesh has been struggling to survive life in the lower bowls of the Essequibo high school system. In a community wracked by alcoholism, suicide and corruption, he sees no purposeful path for himself. Then, Medusa, a creature of savage beauty and determination, crashes into his life and reveals a whole new world beneath the muddy waves -- a world full of wonder, adventure and the possibility of becoming a better person. But Danesh soon learns that the path before him is not an easy one and to get there he just may have to redefine what it means to be a hero.

Obsesionat de fete, lipsit de muschi si confruntat cu profesori ostili si cu dizabilitati de lectura, Danesh, in varsta de 15 ani, s-a luptat sa supravietuiasca vietii in bolurile inferioare ale sistemului liceului Essequibo. Intr-o comunitate afectata de alcoolism, sinucidere si coruptie, el nu vede o cale intentionata pentru el insusi.
