MONEY. MOUNTAINS. MURDER.
A powerful sheriff.
A sleazy grifter.
A family of greedy women.
A protected individual.
A legal battle of wits.
A mountain of marijuana.
A murder.
In Appalachian culture, a holler suggests a valley tucked away in the mountains with a one-lane road, a creek, and folks who know each other. But along the back hills and in the shadowy spaces where the law is whatever the powerful say it is, in the valley of GOOSE CREEK HOLLER, the most dangerous man wears a badge, polished to a hero's shine.
On the surface, Sheriff Dillard Buchnell is a Marine Veteran and family man. Beneath his uniform lies a quiet network of corruption that touches money, land, and lives throughout the holler he claims to protect. Attorney Bobby Mercer has spent years helping Dillard stay untouchable, but when Dillard's cozy corruption begins to crack, Mercer faces off against cunning attorney Maisy Stanwick and discovers the law is just another loaded weapon.
GOOSE CREEK HOLLER is a tense, atmospheric tale of an Appalachian family and rural deceit, combining gritty realism with complex moral dilemmas in a world where loyalty is currency, truth-telling is risky, outsiders don't belong, and one wrong move will end it all. Mountain justice twists and turns, just like the meandering GOOSE CREEK, whose crackling, clear waters will forever hide the truth, even about a murder, unless you know where to look.
