Once, Tarrigo Lake was an exclusive resort for a select handful of wealthy families; but when a modern dam diverts the water, the lake becomes a bog and the resort is abandoned and forgotten. Two children stumble across it by accident and befriend the elderly brother and sister who have come back to live there.
