Following his Papoo's old map, young Beau sets out in his canoe eager to find the treasure that awaits him. As he follows the map, he comes face-to-face with a giant snapping turtle, a spider, a catfish, and many more bayou creatures. As each gives him clues, Beau struggles to find his way to the riches he hunts. It just might be that he finds a true treasure more valuable than gold in this fable from the bayous.
