But it is the even stronger force of his reawakened emotions that pushes and pulls Max out of his carefully organized existence of win, lose, or settle out of court and get paid and paid well. As he works on the legal case for the only survivor of the yacht sinking, and gets pulled into the search for a couple missing from a dive trip, he will be catapulted into the chaos of sorrow and joy that are the necessary ingredients of a life lived fully.
