Description
Hampton, a small, sleepy town in rural South Carolina, is upended by one of the largest criminal scandals in Lowcountry history.

How is Hampton trying to shake off that dark cloud and reclaim its downhome charm? Join host Nathan Stevens and reporter Kelly Jean Kelly as they look at the past and future of Hampton, SC.
