Blood Reef

A Texas high school assistant football coach on a career path littered with red flags gets the call for which he’s waited three decades. Except for the mutual devotion between him and his Irish Setter mix Jenny, Coach Thump Sutton is a three-time loser at love, a coaching vagabond and long past the age of retirement. To Port Verona school superintendent Diane Tran, he’s an answered prayer. While most Barracuda fans would like to see the long-suffering football program made competitive, some powerful policymakers believe the sport is a drain on school funding and an embarrassment to the town. When the new head coach fails at failing, his success threatens the status quo and loosens personal demons sequestered within the community. After the police name Thump as a witness to the kidnapping of a law enforcement officer, a web of deceit and murder entangles his life. As four agencies work around the clock to connect the dots, a high school football coach learns why winning in Port Verona, Texas comes with a cost.
