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.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A gruff ex-convict forced back into dangerous waters for his daughter's sake, navigating swamp politics and personal demons with equal parts grit and dark humor. The film balances action thrills with the weight of a man trying to prove he's changed.
