Fauvel is a socially aware girl struggling to find her place in the world. She goes to a remote town in the French countrysite to dogsit for one of her best friends' dad. She finds herself in the midst of a series of mysterious violent attacks of animals for which the clone dog she's taking care of is one of the main suspects. Yet, the hostile attitude of the demoted hunter neighbors obsessed with aliens does nothing to make her feel any safer. A quite original fable on modern social and political conflict.
