Description
Swamp Story follows Jesse, a young mother trapped in the Everglades with her gorgeous, useless baby-daddy Slater and his sleazy cameraman roommate, Kark. While Slater obsesses over filming a reality pilot, Jesse stumbles onto a cache of gold bars—real treasure—then realizes violent men are hunting her for it.
At the same time, a broke journalist, Phil Teagler, and his opportunist friend Stu get dragged into a ridiculous marketing stunt: a fake cryptid called the “Everglades Melon Monster.” One shaky video turns into a viral wildfire, sending crowds to a failing bait shop and creating the perfect cover for criminals and predators to move in. As the treasure hunt collides with internet mania, Jesse must choose who to trust, how to protect her baby, and whether the gold is worth surviving.
