Fly fishing for trout is sacrosanct to its few residents. The local's creed harbors a severe disdain for out-of-town \"meat draggers\" who fish for their \u003cem\u003esuper trout\u003c\/em\u003e with live bait. The East Carson River flows through the town to Nevada. The river's waters can rush and also slow to be mirror-like smooth on top, but make no mistake, a strong undercurrent flows below, especially when the son of a wealthy and influential man vanishes from Markleeville Station.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMany years later, a local boy returns home to Markleeville Station - now a decorated commander of the Navy SEALS.
