Against The Current

PAUL THOMPSON is a successful thirty-something financial writer and a happy expectant father. He and his very pregnant wife, AMY, are strolling through their quaint Brooklyn neighborhood when suddenly she is struck and killed in a horrible accident.

It is five years later. Sitting at his desk and staring at a calendar, Paul has just decided to mark the fifth anniversary of his wife's death, by swimming the length of the Hudson River, all 150-miles of it, from Troy, New York to the Verazzanno Bridge in New York City.

Both tragic and surprisingly humorous, AGAINST THE CURRENT is a compelling and uncompromising exploration of grief and loss, one's right to determine their own fate, and the limits and responsibilities of friendship.
