Carver: High Mountain Tragedy takes the reader into the minds of two troubled teenagers who, for years, have suffered the abuses and torments of their fellow classmates at Carver High. Kevin Reynolds and Wiley Coates are about to make decisions that will change their lives, and the lives of their families, friends, and tormentors, alike. In 1969, a lifetime of torment and ridicule could lead to retribution, but it would be of a more subtle nature than seen today; nonetheless fatal and tragic. So it was, when Wiley sought his revenge on Mary Clemmons. He would conscript his good friend, Kevin, into his plan and together they would have their revenge. The death of their best friend, Bryce, would take the boys on a fabulous adventure, to a place which two boys who loved the forests and mountains, could previously only have dreamed of. They found a sacred place, of mountain men and ancient Indians. Nevertheless, the festering hate Wiley felt for Mary, would turn their Valhalla into a tragic nightmare; their own Armageddon.

It was a family camping trip to the Jennings family's favorite camping site, high in a remote area of the Ozark Mountains. It began, as each of their previous trips had begun, with wonderful weather, family togetherness, and a sense of adventure. It would end with the kidnapping of Doctor John Jennings's family, and his own flight into the forest to save himself from certain death. John fled into the unknown wilderness of the Ozarks, moving steadily to the northwest in hope of coming across a road, or perhaps, with any luck, a town. What he finally came across was the home of Cordell Heartley, a recluse spelunker, living sometimes in his cabin, and at other times in his caves. Finding Cordell would lead John into the adventure of his life, and to the discovery of an illegal, covert military operation, known as "The Threef Project. Heartley, an ex-U.S. Army Ranger, was soon to become John Jennings' only hope of ever seeing his family again.
