On a chilly, peaceful morning in 1964, Brady and Truman set out on a casual fishing trip at Old Man Gray's pond, unaware that the day would take a life-altering turn. In the small Southern town of Alabama, where harmony is a façade, the boys find themselves grappling with the murky waters of injustice and the evil that lurks beneath the surface. As they navigate the treacherous path of defying the status quo, Brady and Truman seek unexpected allies to help them understand the harsh realities they face. But their determination to push boundaries exposes them to more than just racial injustice, and they soon find themselves in over their heads. With their childhood innocence slipping away and the pressures of their small town threatening to tear them apart, the boys are left questioning the strength of their friendship and the trustworthiness of those around them. In this coming-of-age story set in Gray's Crossing, not everything is as it seems, and Brady and Truman must decide whether they can rely on each other or succumb to the forces that seek to divide them.

In five chapters, the book analyses and explores: (i) legal methodology in general, the main features of different schools of thought, and the nature of science in general; (ii) American realism, which offers an ideal starting point for law students to reflect on the material they are about to study critically; (iii) rationalism, empiricism, and logical positivism, in particular the work of Karl Popper; (iv) criticisms of essentialism; (v) the ideological and philosophical background of contemporary liberal interpretation.
