SWAMP LION is a neo-western crime drama about a working-class family's struggle to save their son. The film is set within a highly dramatic framework, against the backdrop of a small South Texas border town. After their son is diagnosed with advanced cancer, a trucker driver and supermarket cashier -- Jim and Bee -- struggle to climb the mountain of medical bills. In their greatest hour of need they are forced to come up with $ 250,000 in order to afford treatment. In this emotional and financial crisis, Jim ultimately decides to traffic drugs across the US/Mexican border. All sense of morality is thrown out of the window, as Jim does whatever it takes to save his only son. This film explores how far a family will go to save their child and the moral decay that follows love and sacrifice.
