Synopsis

A mysterious man called Mud is hiding out on an island in the Mississippi, wanted by bounty hunters, criminals and the police alike, and waiting for the woman he loves. He asks two teenage boys from the Arkansas side of the river, Ellis and Neckbone, for help, and they decide to trust him. One of them has his doubts about Mud’s honesty but will do anything to help him win her back, with no idea how much danger lies ahead.
