"People often complained about the stench of rotting leaves and putrid water. But to Jessica the wetlands were beautiful. It felt eerie and lonely. But also felt earthy and real. There was life here, but also the whispering reminder of death."
    
    Introvert Jessica has always been the black sheep of her town. She finds no joy in associating herself with the everyday bustle of other people. Instead she finds solace in the swamp of which the town is built around. 
    
    The swamp is dark and mysterious, and Jessica is strangely drawn to it. Even when people start turning up dead.
