Thereâs no other place Tubs Marshfield would rather be than singing a song in his perfect little swamp along the Louisiana bayou. His music can make anyone feel happy.
But something terrible is happening within the swamp that even Tubsâ songs canât fixâand itâs making his neighbors feel sick! No one knows what to do, least of all Tubs.
A mysterious prophecy may hold the keyâĻor send Tubs away from his friends forever.
