"Everyone has a home somewhere."
The legend begins in this final installment of the classic Yooper trilogy. Alphonse Soady is putting the finishing touches on his newly-constructed deer camp when a wild-eyed James Negamanee bursts through his door fleeing a black bear. This origin story reveals the role this strange trespasser plays in time-honored Soady Deer Camp traditions, including the saga of the Soady Ridge Buck.

"The two actors are perfectly cast. Parker's grubby, outspoken James is a perfect counterweight to Whalen's tidy, soft-spoken Alphonse, and director
Guy Sanville takes advantage of, but never overplays, their differences."
"... a delightful glorification of Michigan storytelling."
"... Don't worry if you missed the first two shows and lack the 'Escanaba' background because this introduction to its ancestry easily stands alone.
It's a hoot either way."
