Synopsis

Hope is a dangerous thing—especially when it’s dying. For three years, drought has scorched the Redwater River valley, and a timid rain spirit named Creek hides from desperate townsfolk who would do anything for a drop of water. But when a hustler preacher, a grieving President, and a crowd hungry for miracles all demand the impossible, Creek is dragged from the shadows and forced to answer for a world’s pain. Blamed for every withered crop and empty well, Creek faces impossible choices: betray his own kind, or betray the humans who mistake suffering for punishment. When hope turns to anger and ritual becomes a trap, Creek must decide what it means to be seen—not as a god, but as a person. Can a spirit survive when faith turns into fury, or is the only way out to become human after all?
