The Secrets of Hickory Hollow revolves around the history of the lives of rugged Scottish pioneers that settle in an isolated southern Appalachian Mountain valley. Over the years their little settlement grows and establishes itself as an independent community complete with a church, a school, and government policies and laws of its own. As generations go by, the residents of Hickory Hollow are caught up in the changing times that lead their lives and the community into an intricate web of lies, deception, crimes and greed. In the immediate aftermath of the effects of WW II on their community, a sheriff that dispenses justice with his heart instead of the law, a G Man with his own ideas about history and a Cherokee half breed copes with revenuers, Nazis, murder and some of the communities own prejudices in order to restore the community back to the quiet little crossroads bedroom community it once was.
