Mob alliances, family secrets, and an unpaid million-dollar bet are what 45-year-old newspaper columnist Michael Quinn discovers after the sudden death of his father. Divorced, estranged from his son, and feeling the same loss and disorientation that he felt more than 30 years ago when his father left him in the woods with just a compass near a well-known tourist spot, Hidden Falls, Michael becomes obsessed with unraveling the mystery of his bookie-father. Journalistic instincts finally force him to examine the facts and Michael decides that he will no longer be confined by his dysfunctional family and damaged relationships; the shedding of his denial leads him to unexpected treasures. Hidden Falls highlights this journey revealing not just the origin of a father’s love, and self-discovery, but also a potential windfall of cash.
