Jayson Hunter is a fifteen-year-old underage drinker and self-proclaimed loser, the son of a recovering alcoholic single parent mother and the great grandson of a Niagara Falls barrel jumper. Stumbling home black-out drunk one night and learning about his family history in the next few sobering days, Jayson realizes there may be something for him in his tourist trap home-town of Niagara Falls.

Together with his friend Timmy and aging riverman, Boomer Williams, he learns about the heartbreak, the realities and the rush that is Niagara Falls and ultimately makes a decision that could send him over the falls himself.

The Falls is a fast-paced novel that brings interesting and historical facts of Niagara Falls together with some serious fiction for a thrilling ride that will leave you breathless until you come up for air.
