The Chain
by Robin Lamont
An animal welfare investigator heads to a small town to meet with a worker from a meat packing plant to receive a video documenting the dangerous conditions for the workers and the brutal treatment of pigs about to be slaughtered. But when she arrives, she finds that her contact has committed suicide and the video is gone. The deeper she probes, the more the residents turn against her – afraid that she will get the plant shut down. But beyond the local resistance, there is a more sinister force that will do anything to hide what is happening at the plant.
