This block of shorts serves a hearty range of feeling from chilling to ludicrous where Louisiana’s familiar landscapes - swamps, diners, and places of worship - become arenas for self-exploration. Characters of past and present go on narrative odysseys of spiritual, mythical, and personal discovery without ever leaving home.

In 1940s Louisiana, a young Cajun girl with a passion for the swamp and singing defies her father's prohibition on exploring the wild, only to forge a sinister and mystical bond with a Rougarou.
