Setting

What is a story without a central backdrop? I don't know, but if I did I'd probably have a better analogy to use for this opening line. Plus I wouldn't have reused this opener near verbatim from the Tough Breaker site.

But much like it's college based brother series, Hi-Striker takes place mostly within a small, upstate New York town nestled up in the mountains.

Ringlington, New York

Founded as a shanty town in the 19th Century by folks who got mixed up directions to the Westward Gold Rush, the failed goldpanners stuck together in their folly and turned this makeshift town on the fringes of the then unnamed Arcadia Valley River into a thriving community of it's own. And over the years it would grow into the epicenter of business and pleasure in the Stonehale County region. Some say it's size can even rival that of Midtown Manhattan!
