The pressure is intense in their high-stakes world, and Medina's family begins to break under the stress. Her parents' marriage disintegrates and her beloved brother turns to drugs in order to cope. Medina turns to the ocean to escape it all. She surfs to survive, finding a bitter solace in the rough comfort of the waves.
