When Edal Jones can't cope with the casual cruelty she encounters in her job as a federal wildlife officer, she finds herself drawn to a beacon of solace nestled in the valley under the unlikely banner of an auto-wrecker's yard. But lost souls come in many shapes and sizes, and when the brutal backwoods childhood of another sanctuary-seeker causes him to persecute the creatures of the valley, the little community struggles to come to terms with both him and themselves.
