The movie "Where the crayfish sing" is based on the best-selling novel by Della Owens. The story is about Kyi, who was abandoned by her family and grew up alone in the dangerous swamps of North Carolina. For years, rumors circulated in the town of Barkley Cove about the Swamp Girl, and Kya never came close to the community. In fact, Kya is not what the locals think she is. She is a very sensitive and intelligent girl who lacks closeness to another human being. As Kya slowly opens up to a new and surprising world, the girl is suspected of murder. As the case progresses, the verdict of what actually happened becomes more and more unclear, threatening to reveal many secrets lurking in the swamp.
