The Thin Horizon

In a remote, fog-shrouded coastal town, a reclusive ornithologist becomes convinced that a series of unusual bird migrations portend a catastrophic event. As she delves deeper into ancient local legends and scientific anomalies, she finds herself at odds with the skeptical townsfolk and a mysterious newcomer who seems to know more than he lets on. The line between ecological warning and paranoia blurs as the horizon itself seems to shift.
