After his brother-in-law Daniel brings him into the forest frog business, Lewes spends two years mastering the trade. When the farm sells for $3 million, he's tossed aside with only $50,000. Borrowing $80,000, he starts his own farm with his wife's support and raises top-quality forest frogs. Blinded by greed, Daniel expands recklessly, relies on growth hormones, loses everything, and lands in prison after resorting to sabotage. Meanwhile, Lewes builds a booming business and becomes the village's greatest success.
