From Delia Owens’ best-selling novel comes a fascinating mystery. Wild Girl tells the story of Kya, an abandoned girl who reaches adulthood in the dangerous swamps of North Carolina. Swamp Girl rumors have plagued Barkley Cove for years, isolating the cunning and resilient Kya from her community. Pulled out of the city by two young men, Kya opens the doors to an astonishing new world; but when one of them is found dead, the community immediately names him as the prime suspect. As the case unfolds, the verdict of what really happened becomes more and more confused, threatening to expose the many secrets that lie in the swamp. Wild Girl is directed by Olivia Newman (My First Match, 2018) from a screenplay by Lucy Alibar.
