PREY

One night and without apparent reason, several deer rush headlong to their death by throwing themselves onto an electric fence surrounding a large agricultural exploitation. The deep bite wounds found on the deer indicate to the wealthy family owners of the farm that a beast of prey roams in the forest nearby. They decide to hunt the animal down, but once in the heart of the forest, they are astonished to find that both plant and animal life are dying, ravaged  by some unknown malady. As the sun goes down, strident cries echo around them. The hunters have become the prey.
