Lakeboat

From Pulitzer Prize winning writer David Mamet and director Joe Mantegna comes a tale about life on a freighter on America's Great Lakes. This coming-of-age story follows Dale, an ivy-league college student, who briefly joins a world-weary crew. Exposed to a seafaring lifestyle, which falls short of his literary visions, Dale instead finds the experience rich in unexpected ways. The men's bravado and comical posturing gives way as their lively story-telling reveals more about their mythologized view of life than about what actually may have happened.
