Ten-year-old Doe is losing her hearing—and her only comfort is Magpie, her loyal service dog.
All seems idyllic on her home, Runninghorse Ranch.
Till it isn't.
Cattle Mutilations, Lights and random Aurora Borealis in the sky above the misty mountain have the whole family on edge.
When Magpie vanishes into the mountains, Doe follows—defying warnings passed down by generations of native elders, and the warnings of ancient stories etched in petroglyphs on the nearby sea cliffs.
She doesn’t return.
As her family unravels, the tales come to life, resurrecting secrets—revealing that some stories aren’t just legends.
Folklore isn’t fiction—it’s a warning.
