Clean Break

A timid young veterinarian in a small Florida town is drawn into an unexpected adventure when an eccentric recluse summons him to treat a sick polar bear recently acquired from a failing circus. Torn between family obligations and a long-suppressed ambition to work with exotic animals, he accepts and encounters odd attendants, dangerous creatures, and unfamiliar circumstances that test his skills. The visit awakens his yearning for high adventure and propels him beyond his predictable life, triggering a sequence of practical challenges and personal decisions about duty, courage, and the costs of pursuing deferred dreams.
