Whether you've watched it yourself or heard about it around town, the lingering presence of "One Tree Hill" in Wilmington and Southeastern N.C. is virtually inescapable. But how did the show get its start in the Cape Fear region, and why does it still have a undeniable impact more than half a decade after it went off the air? We explroe those questions and more in this very special episode of Cape Fear Unearthed, featuring and interview with James Lafferty, who starred on The CW series' nine-season run.

Cape Fear Unearthed is written and hosted by Hunter Ingram.
