Oola is a fierce and powerful snake, respected and feared by animals and humans alike. One day Oola hears noises in the valley below. It is a cry of sorrow, fear, and desperation from a mother who has lost her five-year-old son. Oola is captured by the sound. Navi, a bird that lets Oola know what’s going on from his perspective in the sky, tells him the parents are searching in the wrong direction and that coyotes are on the boy’s trail. Oola must decide whether to help the child and save him or ignore the pain he heard in the mother’s cry.
