A chance discovery in a church painting draws the members of a scientific family, all with an interest in birds, into the impenetrable myth of a bird god, with a pull they cannot resist, especially once it turns out that the myth is not just a myth. On different continents, three curious siblings are driven straight towards madness. The god's worshippers live in a legendary but wretched corner of the earth, where they seem less devoted to it than at its mercy. A disturbing modern Gothic tale in which a higher being in feathers spreads fear and terror among all who try to come near it.
