As the situation rapidly disintegrates into chaos and death, Fat Badger and his family must use their skills in a valiant attempt to save their people. In this compelling tale, a spiritual mystery unfolds amid prehistoric Arizona as an important leader in Sky Valley toils with his family to rescue his people from an uncertain future.
