The elephants, led by the ancient chief Gur, want to sue the human government in court for encroaching on their sacred migration path. As this unprecedented trial unfolds against a backdrop of brewing global war, humanity is forced to confront the idea that they are not the only intelligent, rights-deserving species on the planet. What began as a miracle of nature, soon spirals the nations of the world into a global war.
