The Last Kid Left

Sixteen-year-old Emily Portis and 19-year-old Nick Toussaint are the children of two of the oldest families of a New Hampshire sea coast town—families still embroiled in a feud that goes back generations. Those old tensions reignite when Nick and Emily become boyfriend and girlfriend. And when Nick is caught in New Jersey after wrecking a car, with the bodies of a prominent town doctor and his wife in the trunk, leading to his arrest for murder, a local scandal ensues. Attempts to hush up events fall apart when a journalist posts nude photos Emily took for Nick on the Internet. Meanwhile, Martin Krug, the police chief who brought Nick back to New Hampshire, returns there to investigate the case on a hunch that Nick is innocent, a hunch that's vindicated. At its heart, this is the story of two teens who desperately want to believe that love can lift them above the circumstances of their lives while all around them the primeval and viral collide.
