Downstream

Jude Keller is thirteen when everything changes. In a small South Carolina town where ambition is something people grow out of, he stumbles into cycling—first as a dare, then as a need. What starts as a borrowed bike and a weekend group ride becomes something harder to name: obsession, identity, escape. Set in 2001, False Flat is a grounded, character-driven coming-of-age novel that captures the raw intensity of adolescence through the lens of competitive road cycling. This is not a story about winning. It's about choosing to suffer on purpose—and what it costs to chase something all the way to the edge.
