Sinopse

áHeistinâÇÖs father was a soldier killed in Iraq. Now itâÇÖs just him and his mom, a Gold Star family, living on the edge of a swamp. Since Mom must work, Heistin stays home by himself a lot. Between his chores and his comic books, heâÇÖs usually not too afraid. Until one night he hears a loud noise and someone jiggles the doorknob.ááááWhen Heistin peeks out the window and sees a huge, hairy, man-ape, he panics and calls his best friend, Jax. JaxâÇÖs grandfather comes along to help figure out what happened and he tells the boys about a creature called Bigfoot who years ago rescued a local soldier from a hunterâÇÖs trap. Heistin wonders if it really could be Bigfoot! Day after day Bigfoot returns and worms his way slowly into HeistinâÇÖs life. Knowing no one will believe him, Heistin struggles to keep Bigfoot a secret from his mom and his best friend.ááááBut one day everything changes. A hunter shows up on the edge of the swamp. And he wants to prove Bigfoot exists. Matters get worse when HeistinâÇÖs mom loses her job, and they may be forced to move. Needing to warn Bigfoot of the hunter, Heistin conquers his fear and enters the ominous swamp. The gentle man-ape then introduces Heistin to his world, filled with insects, birds, and alligators.ááááKnowing he needs to return home soon, Heistin asks Bigfoot if he will ever see him again. The man-ape replies with a special word shared by Heistin and his dad. The mystery of why Bigfoot keeps an eye on Heistin and his mom is solved--Bigfoot had saved HeistinâÇÖs dad from a hunterâÇÖs trap years ago and had befriended the injured soldier. Bigfoot now wants to keep an eye out and protect the soldierâÇÖs wife and son.
