One day Adina returns home to discover that her fox fur rug has had its tail cut off. On another occasion its the hindleg. Then a foreleg. The mutilated fur is a sign that she is being tracked by the secret policethe fox was ever the hunter. Images of photographic precision combine into a kaleidoscope of terror as Adina and her friends struggle to keep mind and body intact in a world pervaded by complicity and permeated with fear, where its hard to tell victim from perpetrator.
