   Summary

   1915, Smokeskill Cove, the Watona Peaks Mountain Region. When the lake at the heart of a fishing village mysteriously runs dry, James 'Bucky' Barnes uses the last thing he has left to support his out of work, alcoholic father, his body. Mistreated by his clients, and dismissed by his father, Bucky is in desperate need of friendship and above all, love. A stranger's arrival in the small community might just be the answer. Steve Rogers, a scientist from the North is visiting to study the lake and uncover the disturbing truth of the village's folklore.
