It's July 2nd, 1992,
the Newfoundland cod fishery and the the Roman Catholic
church are imploding under the weight of unfathomable
abuse. Luke Delaney, a bookish boy and his brazen best
buddy, Mikey Ryan set out from the Outer Battery to climb
the Salt Mountains. And to bear witness to the end of a
way of life. As one man said, "Everyone was so busy
blaming everyone else, that they forgot to look in the
mirror." © 2014
