In the small decaying community of Yegua, Texas, Veterinarian William Clayton sells his integrity to an international agriculture conglomerate called Naturalzyme.

Surrounded by the human effects of the Naturalzyme products, Sheriff's Deputy Brett Blackburn responds to a series of strange events but he remains oblivious to their causes. Set in a Texas town whose sole job force relies on the success of the coal strip mining industry, "THE CARRION" is as provocative and it is disturbing.
