Ever wish you had someone to share your deepest, darkest secrets but you didn't want it to get around? That's what happens in a fishing lodge of rural Georgia. When Froggy and his friend, Charlie, come to town, they tell everyone that Charlie doesn't speak English, as he's terribly afraid of having to make conversation with strangers. Thinking they're talking to someone who can't understand them, the townsfolk open up to Charlie revealing far more than Charlie even bargained for.
