In the high desert grasslands, a solitary creature reads the world in frequencies beyond human cognition. Fifty years of unexplained cattle deaths have carved wounds into the pastoral mythology of the American West, defying both science and superstition. These twin mysteries reveal the fragile membrane between the known and unknowable. Fear meets wonder, illuminating how the land becomes keeper of truths too strange for daylight.
