The swamps of South Carolina's coastal Lowcountry are filled with colorful places, history and people. In the middle of all this lies the town of Palmetto Creek. Nearby is the swamp, full of cypress, live oaks and palmetto thickets, providing shelter for critters like alligators, water moccasins, feral hogs and white-tailed deer. When four old friends, make their annual deer-hunting pilgrimage to their old cabin, they find themselves in the middle of a poacher's guiltless night-hunting. Meanwhile, a wizened old buck vigilantly watches the goings and comings of the people of Palmetto Creek.
