The Gentlemen's Sport and Social Club is a contemporary tale that unfolds in the present tense—the way life should but seldom does. The weight of a lifetime of disappointment and defeat anchors a man stubbornly in the past. Devoutly disilluioned, John is content to live out his retirement in his cabin in the woods, alone with his cynicism. That is, until Evangeline sweeps into his world with an intriguing offer of adventure and fulfillment that gives a whole new meaning to the words risk and reward.
