A mysterious death and a lost love have haunted Casey Sadler for years. In a chance meeting on campus at UNC–Chapel Hill, he learns that the death was more mysterious than he had thought … and the love may not be as lost as he had assumed. As Casey puts the pieces of both puzzles together, he takes a wild ride from Chapel Hill to Myrtle Beach to Charlotte and finds laughs he didn’t expect and heartbreaks he’d rather not have discovered. You don’t have to love Carolina to appreciate the roar of the crowd at Kenan Stadium, the sounds/smells/sights on Franklin Street, and the majesty of the UNC campus you’ll find in Final Grade … but it helps!
