"Silent Tombstone" isolated loneliness, the influence of the original family, the indifference of the neighborhood, the conflict in the intimate relationship... Through an accidental death event, it reflects the various difficulties faced by modern people.
The sunny Cameron is dead, and his body is found in front of a tombstone in the desert. The police say it was a suicide, but Nathan senses something different. Tales of divinations and paintings, pits under corpses, calls from strange women, rapes from years ago, strange backpackers, unusual horse falls... Why is this home, this farm, and this whole town always shrouded in a grotesque fog? Can Nathan cut through the fog and return to life as it really is?
