Against the background of a summer heatwave, Mandrake and his foxes set out to ruin Wrecker’s egg-smuggling operations, destroying birds’ nests, stealing eggs, and holding water sources to ransom.

Facing the loss of his business, his gang, his friends, and ultimately his life, Wrecker must hope for a miracle of deliverance.
