The narrative centers on a series of deadly lion attacks that coincide with Patterson's arrival at a remote bridge construction site. Despite efforts to secure the area, fear escalates among the workers, leading to a mass exodus and halting construction. Patterson struggles not only with the financial fallout but also with maintaining his authority in the face of superstitions that label him as the source of the misfortunes, as the workers believe the lions are evil spirits punishing them. The tension between superstition and the harsh realities of survival drives the story.
