The girls learn that they are preceded by generations of dog-headed women and woman-headed dogs whose bloodlines bind them together like knots in a thread. Anita convinces Rainie to become a dog with her, tying a collar of red string around each of their necks to preserve their kinship forever. But when the two girls are separated, Anita sinks into her dreams and lands in a coma that only Rainie knows how to rouse her from. As Anita's body begins to rot, her mind straying further and further away from the waking world, it is up to Rainie to rebuild Anita's body and keep her friend from being lost forever. Tasked with gathering new organs from the mythical landscape of their shared childhood, Rainie must return to the past and ask herself how far she is willing to go to reunite with the girl who has haunted her and hunted her in equal measure. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn rhythmically poetic and visceral lore, K-Ming Chang veers away from the ordinary and into the macabre.
