Meet the restless spirit of a young boy lost forever to a fierce marsh creature. Now he haunts the maze of Murrells Inlet marshes as a "droll," the wandering ghost of a child who has died an unnatural death.
Then enjoy the antics of friendlier inhabitants of nearby Waccamaw swamp: Brother Frog, Brother Rabbit, and Brother Gator, each trying to outwit the other.
