Following the street to redemption of Baghdad, two Iraqi guys stumble upon armed men looting the town zoo. The floodgates have been opened up for the smuggling of hundreds of exotic parrots, mammals, and reptiles to Western nations, but this criminal offense hides a deeper magic formula. Amid a hail of bullets, a hidden underground weapons laboratory is ransacked—and something even more horrific is set free. Seven years later, Louisiana express vet Lorna Polk stumbles upon a angling trawler shipwrecked over a hurdle island. The team is missing or dead, but the boat supports a scary cargo: a caged band of exotic animals, clearly part of the dark market smuggling wedding ring. Yet, something is wrong with these beasts, troubling deformities that produce no sense: a bird with no feathers, a pair of Capuchin monkeys conjoined at the hip, a jaguar cub with the dentition of the saber-toothed tiger. They also all share one uncanny trait—a disturbingly heightened intellect. To uncover the reality about the foundation of this peculiar cargo and the terrorist danger it poses, Lorna must team up with a guy who stocks a dark and bloody history with her and is currently a realtor with the U.S. Border Patrol, Jack port Menard. Together, both must hunt for a beast that escaped the shipwreck while uncovering a secret tied to fractal research and genetic anatomist, all to expose a horrifying magic formula that traces back again to humankind's earliest roots. But can Lorna stop what's about to be born upon the altar of Eden before it threatens not only the world but also the base of what this means to be human?
