'Mobie' Monaco, senior captain of his Division III college hockey team, the Milltown Muskrats, relates the 'typical' experiences of playing varsity sports in the 1990s. His sexual license goes beyond all rules. Captain and his teammates overindulge fearlessly in an age of plagues, yet find the experience more and more empty. Playing hockey is the ultimate thrill for Monaco and his friends. The team follows its captain on a perilous challenge to break every Commandment and commit every Deadly Sin. Like a great voyage, the story unfolds, revealing the sexual obsession and drug abuse of a group of rink rats that courts disaster. A shocking cautionary tale, the conflicts and victories of the final adult generation of the 20th century will challenge conventions of society with a climax of violence.
