“An underground chapel hidden beneath the desert floor …

A stranger who produces fourteen masterpieces …

An apocalyptic flood whose impact reaches across generations …

An endless civil war whose combatants live shattered, shiftless lives …

And a man who may finally find peace at the end of a very long road …

Spanning three generations, and set amidst the unforgiving heat of the California desert, BALLARD the republic of dogs attempts to divine meaning from the intersection of life and art.”
