It's the summer of 1938. The great depression, now coming to an end, has ravaged the nation for the past 10 years, giving rise to jealousy, hatred and crime. Folks in Denton County, Texas rely on an old iron-framed bridge that sits on top of an old cattle crossing ford over Hickory Creek. There have been talks about a recent lynching in the area, and the claims are backed up by an empty noose hanging over the side of the bridge. With a last glimpse, you notice a small sign hanging on the bridge. It reads, ‘This way to the Goatman’.
