Plot Summary of Lost Hunters
"Some people in a small Indiana town believe the town is cursed. One man, an alcoholic named Ed, knows the truth, and has for years. In the past, he watched people die, and lived with the afterthought, "I might have been able to stop it from happening." Because of his history and reputation as the town drunk, no one believes his story. Now, he's about to get another opportunity to save a life, and he has an important decision to make. "
Sheila Bales, Resident Scholar
