The Bog Maiden

An ancient shaman, aghast that his final chance for renewed life has just slipped away, curses the thwarted lovers who have foolishly eaten his last mushrooms of immortality. Millenia later, among the boggy dunes of the Southern Oregon Coast, Johnny Wander's vision quest leads to mind-blowing encounters in the eerie grove on the edge of the haunted bog. Meanwhile, farmer Ole Gorseman baffles fellow cranberry growers with his change of heart, the Confederated Tribes of the Sand Coast struggle to build a casino, the Conservancy's Grace Flores fights to protect a globally endangered ecosystem, Sheriff Ray Wilson spars with Berry Queen-turned-novice-reporter Maybelle Tattleton and tribal elder Mary Duneflower Jackson quietly schemes to reunite lovers kept apart for far too long. It's all enough to keep Bugsy Sopp's eye twinkling with bemusement!
