A cunning attorney.

A family of greedy women.

A protected individual.

A legal battle of wits.

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. Sounds sweet, doesn't it? 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 former Marine 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 the 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 twisted justice, 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.
