Synopsis
An exhilarating adventure tale, Disappearances is the incredible story of a young man named Wild Bill Bonhomme and his reckless, larger-than-life father, Quebec Bill, who set out to smuggle Canadian liquor into Prohibition-era Vermont. Desperate to keep their family farm afloat, the pari embark on a heroic whiskey-running mission in the bitter winter of 1932. On their epic journey through the wilderness, Bill and his father encounter a cast of unforgettable characters—and live out magical escapades as they carve their way into legend.
