What is a rain dog, and how does it get its intriguing
title?
Trying to escape his life, Tom Coleman returns to his
hometown to take care of the campground his grandfather
left to him. Upping his alcohol intake, Tom also agrees to
take on the challenge, which includes the lazy marijuana-
smoking Duane and the troubled, angry teenager Scott as
hired hands.
A few weeks after he's settled in, a fishing cabin
mysteriously explodes. Tom believes the teenagers involved
weren't just camping. Delving deeper, Tom discovers a
surprising connection between his workers. But he's too
involved with himself, after losing his daughter to cancer,
to care.
Things go downhill after Tom catches Duane stealing from
the cash box. A DEA agent steps in and tries to take over,
but Tom has other ideas. Unwilling to hurt Abby, his first
love and Scott's stepmother, Tom tries to shield her from
the problems.
A few gunshots, a couple of corpses, a mysterious plotline
and voila! -- you have a mystery. This one, however, takes a
different angle. Instead of gruesome car chases and
intriguing deaths, the mystery is about the characters more
than the action. Tom and Abby are both suffering personal
tragedies, Scott carries more drama than a soap opera and
Duane is surprising. As for what a rain dog is? You'll have
to read to find out for yourself.
