description: It's 1914, and the Florida jungle between Lake Okeechobee and the Atlantic Ocean is a wild and magical place, but the train will change everything when it reaches the lake in a few months. Three improbable friends, Queenie, an African-American girl, Billy, a young Cracker, and the Chief, a Seminole boy, lose their boat in a storm on the lake. When the Ashley Gang blocks the only road home, they decide not to go straight back. Instead, they embark on a quest to follow the St. Lucie River to the ocean and see what the future will bring. What they find along the way is not what they expected.
