The Mississippi is the great river of North America. Sculpted by bitter winters and blistering summers, it is home to a multitude of wildlife and a rare breed of people - the 'River Rats'. The lives of these people are intricately bound to the ebb and flow of the river. Seen through the eyes of the celebrated last river rat, Kenny Salwey, this film explores the challenge to survive that every animal faces as the Mississippi meanders its way through four extremely defined seasons.
