In this two-part thriller, meet John Adams: a young man of the early 1980s, captivated by all things modern and electronic. He wants nothing to do with the outdoors but, as a compliant son, joins his father on a hunting trip to Black Swamp Bottoms. His world is soon changed forever as he learns how perilous things can get in a dark and scary place like Black Swamp.
John's trip to Black Swamp results in the arrival of a large disgruntled beast that sets the whole town on edge. The local sheriff is stretched to his wit's end trying to keep order, and John is left with a secret that he hopes to take to the grave. John grows up to become a rookie wildlife officer where his experience in Black Swamp continues to lead him down a hard and dangerous path.
He is given the assignment of searching out those responsible for some lawless deeds that no longer remain hidden in the backwoods of his small southern town. Regardless of who is to blame, all eyes, including those of the sheriff, are on John to get things settled in the mysterious wooded areas. Will John meet the task at hand or ultimately become a casualty himself?
