In the tentative “Sally’s Horse and Donkey Show”, imagine coming home to find a horse and donkey in your backyard, both desperately thirsty. Would you give them a drink? And then what?

What she discovers shocks her to the core – their water trough is contaminated with a body. But whose body is it? And how did it end up in the water trough?

With no one else around, Sally wonders if the body could be their missing caregiver. As the mystery deepens, she must grapple with the fate of both the animals and the unknown person in the trough.
