In the vast and indifferent waters of the Bering Sea, a fifteen-year-old boy held on for two days to the hull of a capsized fishing boat, waiting to be found. He and his older brother and cousin had gone out together on a trip meant to serve their community — only he came back. His survival is remarkable; the silence left by the two who did not return is the deeper story. The sea has always asked more of some than others, and it does not explain why.
