The Cornish coast turns deadly when massive bird migrations transform from natural phenomenon to coordinated assault. Nat Hocken, a farm worker with a war injury, first notices strange bird behavior: unusual flocking patterns, increasing aggression, sudden silences that signal imminent danger. As birds begin systematic attacks on homes and people, rural communities find themselves under siege with no explanation and dwindling defenses. Isolated families must fight for survival against an inexplicable and merciless avian invasion that threatens to overwhelm human civilization.
