After her brother runs off into the swamp, Sterling vows to do whatever it takes to get him back. However, when the whole town forgets her brother and remembers only a mysterious sister who crawled out of the swamp, Sterling’s plans become complicated. She will require the help of the only other person in town who remembers, a loner boy named Heath.
