And it all started with a shot on the swamp, which wounded Aaron, the son of Eileen Moggridge. What if the bullet was intended for his friend, the hot nineteen-year-old Sonny, the nephew of Angel, a former special forces officer? Subsequent murders and missing people cast a shadow, in particular, on Eileen's ex-husband, Chuck. Trying to sort out their relationship and find the criminal, Angel and Eileen themselves miraculously escape death and stumble upon the hermit sorcerer Chuzu and his mystical dog, living right in the swamp...
