Camp Lucas. Located on the edge of town, in the wooded country of Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where some of Ernest Hemingway's Nick Adams stories are set, this nine-acre National Guard camp has piqued the attention of at least two potential users.

In the last act, Tom may win back his soul by guessing three cards Nick has plucked from a deck. As a pair of black men saunter by, Tom correctly names the two of spades...
