In the border region of Mexico, Arizona and New Mexico, where the Sonora Desert merges with the Chihuahua Desert, Sonora County, a new self-organized way of life, emerges. The city in Sonora - emerging from the desert soil as an economic and cultural center within a few years - becomes the vibrant focal point of this lifestyle and the symbol of the new community.

A heat wave lasting several months reduces all life to the limits of the bearable. The region is declared a disaster area.

Human organs are found in a dilapidated lodge in the Sierra. The body parts point to a serial killer who preserves his victims-young women between 25 and 35-in the manner of ancient Egyptian embalmers.

For the protagonists, a psychedelic foray begins through the abysses of the human soul and the hidden realms of their own past - guilt and the search for forgiveness. On the edge of delusion and reality, the investigation develops into a wild chase after a phantom. Where reality and fantasy merge, the events become a dream. But who is whose dream creature?
