Robert Koon

On his morning bike ride on a local trail, Jerry encounters a sign warning of the local sighting of a mountain lion.  He successfully avoids an encounter with the predator, but as his day unfolds the presence of wildlife in the city becomes more and more pronounced…and more and more suspicious.  Are the appearances of the animals and the disappearances of the people connected?  Are the animals launching an attack on the humans who are annexing their territory, or are the humans themselves de-evolving—sliding back into their selfish, animal nature?

Along with his friends, Bernard (a university professor) and Lily (a waitress), Jerry tries to discover an explanation for these occurrences, attempting all the while to fight off the animal world and cling to the unique qualities that make us human beings.  A contemporary comedy for a cast of 7 (5M, 2W).
