When a handsome, young hobo jumps off a train in a small town, he becomes embroiled in a murder and infatuated with a beautiful primary school teacher. She is involved with the charismatic high school principal suspected of Communist sympathies. The Last Real Hobo is a nostalgic look at the 1950’s when changing mores and political controversy begin to intrude in the bucolic lives California’s Central Valley farmers. An F.B.I. investigation and a love triangle unfold among rumors of Reds and perverts, the nasty senate election between Richard Nixon and Helen Douglas, and the chaos created by the Korean War. Contemporary themes of bigotry, misogyny, and conspiracy resonate as a hobo comes of age among a colorful cast of characters who wrestle with personal integrity and professional ethics.
