by John Gorelski
Story Synopsis
In 1975, a disgraced freighter captain and his rag-tag crew race a corporate ship to a choke point on their route, seeking revenge on the rival captain for perceived past insults and a career-damaging act.
But when both ships are caught in a 100-year storm and the rival ship disappears from radar, the disgraced captain must trust his crew and risk everything to re-enter the storm in search of survivors and a chance at redemption for a horrific past that still haunts his dreams.
Chasing the Fitz is a character-driven, fictional thriller about Great Lakes shipping, corporate neglect, antagonistic camaraderie amongst men, and the women who love those men, despite all their faults.
Inspired by events the night a killer storm sank the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald.
