Levi "Jay" Hart knows his a main character in a book called the lifeguard, or maybe his just going mad. Drawn into the politics at Australia's largest aquatic centre 'Water park' Levi finds that his slowly loosing his mind as management constantly pushes him around, while he faces dilemmas on concepts of right and wrong within his private life. The tedious job of just watching a pool can make anyone go stir crazy or over think things, and that's just the start. Throw in a sleazy executive, an aggressive manager, a rival worker, a girl who knows more than everyone, a group of friends quite possibly being a bad influence and lastly a woman to die for and you have a recipe for disaster. My dear reader you are in so much more than you bargained for!
