Danny, Gus's brother, committed suicide after failing to make the national swimming team--a big step on the way to the Olympics.

But as he works toward his goal and through his feelings, Gus does everything he can to channel this burning intensity into excelling at the sport that he and Danny both loved, and finds solace in the water"--OCLC.
