Come and get him.

DramaCrimeAction

After his release from prison, notorious ex-con and moonshine distiller Gator McKlusky moves in with his father in a cabin in the Okefenokee Swamp. His bootlegging plans are cut short, however, when a federal agent tells McKlusky that he will lose custody of his 9-year-old daughter unless he helps bring down local crime lord Bama McCall. McKlusky enlists the help of reporter Aggie Maybank and a few local eccentrics to bring down McCall's empire.

VIBE

A swampy, sun-baked neo-noir where desperation breeds violence. It feels like a slow-burn fuse leading to inevitable, explosive confrontations, steeped in a world of lowlifes and moral ambiguity.
