The "Marsh Girl" Kya Clark, sensitive, intelligent, lives on her own in the marsh, making friends with gulls and learning lessons in the sand and water. However, she is a human, and one day she feels the call to be touched and loved. Two young men from the town of Barkley Cove become intrigued by her wild beauty, and Kya lets them befriend her--then, the handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, and the locals suspect Kya.
