In The Wind

Sometimes you have to get good and lost before you'll have any hope at finding yourself. Dustin Hunter has returned to Alvarado after seven years of military service and one bad shot that shattered his self-assured ego. Struggling to forget what he left behind in the desert, he finds himself drifting in the wind, homeless and without direction. When the wind blows something unexpected his way, he has to decide if he's ready to feel emotion again and deal with what he lost in the sand. Scott Weller's red hair, strange clear blue eyes, glasses and mechanically inclined intellect have always made him the perfect lure for bullies. Despite being well past the age of school yard harassment, Scott's reoccurring bruises don't go unnoticed by his friends and the newly returned Dustin. Scott's easy smile and calm voice give Dustin a needed sense of peace, and Scott's blushing freckles make Dustin feel something he never has before. As the desire to protect Scott grows, Dustin finds himself in a different kind of war. An unsettling wind is blowing through Alvarado, dividing families and bringing change. When the dust settles, the small town of Alvarado will never be the same again.
