In the Appalachian foothills of Ohio, there are strange tales of horrific figures that live in or near rivers; cadaverous and insatiable, they pillage cemeteries, consume unfortunate animals, and those who wander in their domains after dark. Today, however, we follow the creature behind the myth - we discover the life of a real "Muddy Man", a Mireling named Dime.
Follow Dime on a hunting trip, through hibernation, and witness the beauty of love in this cryptid documentary.
