Summary
A powerful portrait of blue-collar America, a timeless tribute to the inherent decency and good humor that sustains working-class people in everyday life. Goodhearted restaurant manager Miles Roby tries to keep his Empire Grill going, even as the wealthy and powerful Mrs. Whiting makes life difficult for him. His father, Max, 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
