A park in the fog. Crows flap and caw in the sky. A homeless man
sleeps between the trees. A woman disappears. Now and then a crow is
shot: as a deterrent. The crows rally after every shot. The police
gather evidence. Reality and imagination become increasingly blurred.
Fine cracks pervade everyday perceptions. Gradually we begin to
suspect a new and unsettling reality behind the tangible world.
