Spiral Down

Carl Callahan is a rising star in his company but his addiction to alcohol and womanizing lead him into a maelstrom of events that eventually cause him to lose his job, his wife, and his children. As he sinks further into his addictions, his erratic behavior adversely affects everyone around him, destroying his family and even leading to the suspicion that he might be a murderer. Set in the Great Depression in the poverty pockets of southern Appalachia, Spiral Down is a gripping portrait of one man's efforts to cope with events larger than life in an effort to survive the forces that eventually overwhelm him. It is Shakespeare's Tragic Flaw brought to life in the world of today.
