Adapted by author Richard Russo from his pulitzer Prize-winning novel, Empire Falls is a portrait of the gritty drama and human comedy that makes up everyday life in a blue-collar America. On a daily basis, good-hearted restaurant manager Miles Roby tries to keep his Empire Grill going, even as the wealthy and powerful Mrs. Whiting makes life difficult for him. On top of dealing with Mrs. Whiting, Miles has to keep tabs on his old man, Max who is always getting into trouble. But Miles has something much bigger than just restaurant receipts and a cantankerous father on his mind - he can't shake the ghosts from a tragic past that keep his fate inevitably connected to Empire Falls.
