Logline

Men can possess heroic courage to face challenges, or alternately run like little girls, ashamed at their own inadequacy. This dynamic is richly described in the story of four men in "Freeboard". While each character must cope with their individual stress, from losing a wife to violence to personal moral failure, the four men serendipitously coalesce into a road trip of retreat, ending up far at sea.
