But his best friend, Maria, wants nothing more than to make a home in the desert, and Jake's mother encourages him to always play it safe.īut there's nothing 'safe' about Jake's future-not when he's attracted to Kenny Liu, swim team captain and rebel against conformity. And yet he yearns for the ocean and is determined to leave his hometown for a college on the coast. Luckily, he lives in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, which is in the middle of the desert. Jake Hyde doesn't swim-not since his father drowned.
