"The Last Real Place" – Another summer is over at picturesque Camp Itawa in the Appalachian Mountains of north Georgia. While most of the camp counselors return to their respective schools in the fall, Stoney St. Ney stays on in his off-season position as handyman to the camp owners. When Stoney’s new love interest, Abby, finds her teaching position in North Carolina’s Nanotla High School fraught with danger, he drops everything to travel north to ensure her safety. A shooting has taken place in the school library, and the two accused students have escaped to nearby Smoky Mountains National Park. When the local police fail to find the shooters, it’s up to Stoney and his Cherokee mentor, Bobby Whitehorse, to track them down.
