A vacation in Mexico with his mother, sister, and little brother might cramp his style, but hes willing to take that risk for a chance to cruise the beaches. Travis soon discovers that even with his headphones and shades, he cant completely cut himself off from his familys problems. He begins to understand why his father didnt come with them: His mother is contemplating a divorce. Meanwhile his younger brother, Teddy, becomes increasingly obsessed with protecting some endangered sea turtles near the resort. In spite of himself, Travis is drawn into Teddys efforts to save the turtles. But it takes a devastating tragedy beyond his imagining to shake Travis out of his cynicism -- a tragedy that will change his family forever.
