Description

Jack Farrell has stumbled into a deal too good to be true. Rising swiftly from a low-level loan officer in Chicago to a successful investment banker in California representing the interests of a Central American entrepreneur, Farrell blinds himself to what he is really doing -- laundering money for a drug cartel -- until it is too late.

On the run from both Federal agents and the drug lords, Jack flees to the Utah mountains where he once skied as a student. With a new name and a face altered by plastic surgery, Farrell struggles to lose himself in the steep chutes and couloirs.

But his solitude is short-lived. Farrell is drawn to Inez Didier, the enigmatic French director who recruits him and a handful of fellow skiers for a documentary film that forces them to take mind-numbing risks.

Treading the hazardous line between his addiction to thrill-seeking and his need to confront the horrors of his past, The Fall Line reveals Farrell’s darkest secrets as it races toward an explosive climax amidst some of the most dangerous terrain in the world.
