Hogtown
Indiana Illinois Ontario 🇫🇷 France The 1910sA man disappears on the same day he makes his fortune in this re-imagining of a true story, which is still unsolved.

While the investigation of Small’s case is a central device, Nearing’s real objective is to expose the characters of the time and stoke the flames of mystery.
