Tallon Jackson had it made. He worked in a TV studio. He went to parties. He was a small town boy determined to succeed in Raleigh. And then he got fired for flunking a drug test. The High Water Mark picks up after Tallon has lost his apartment and gone to New Jersey for a job offer from a college buddy eager to rekindle their friendship. But things don't work out and Tallon returns to North Carolina where he must face the unthinkable: moving back in with his parents. Returning to his childhood home in Emerald Isle, Tallon must obey his parents' rules, while maintaining his own high standards, which includes finding a job that doesn't make him wear a paper hat, dating someone who isn't totally crazy, and finding his true purpose in life. When all of these things elude him, Tallon stumbles upon a new sensation: Sadie. She has great legs, a summer home by the ocean, and a past that destroys every relationship she's ever been in. But her creative spirit burns like a wild fire, and Tallon begins to look at his home town-and his situation-with new eyes. With Sadie, Tallon Jackson can see a way out of his downward spiral, but he must decide whether he has the courage to follow his dreams, or risk living in the past.
