Loving the rain

the long version

Clay Thomas has mind-control powers-powers he has learned are best to be kept secret and unused-except the secrets are harming the family relationships he values most. Then Jack Harding, a cold-hearted criminal and rival from Clay's past, enters the picture. Because their sons are on the same basketball team, their paths intersect once again, and Jack is determined to exact revenge for past humiliations he blames on Clay. There are seemingly no ends to his diabolical plans: manipulation, humiliation, kidnapping, and even murder. When Clay realizes that his athletic son, Tanner, has the same parapsychological abilities, he pursues answers, and the father and son team sets out together to undo consequences from Clay's past and to put an end to Harding's plans. As his enemy closes in and Clay and Tanner's powers seem to grow, Clay is forced to choose between protecting his secrets and protecting those he loves most.
