Something strange is happening in Verde, Texas.
One early autumn morning, veterinarian Tilly Hutto is called out to a local ranch to provide a post-mortem diagnostic exam on a calf that mysteriously died in the night. And the calf's death is not the night's only strange happening-the same evening, a local girl goes missing without a trace.
These two events are just the beginning of a spiral into chaos for the small south Texas town. Things only get stranger when Tilly is hired to consult on a high-tech new project on one of Verde's commercial hunting ranches-a project that leaves Tilly questioning the very nature of life itself.
This gripping Texan gothic sci-fi saga will leave you guessing until the very end.
