The 19-minute film opens with Henry reporting/streaming live as his aid (Leslie) drives in between the Arizona and Nevada desert. He speaks to his audience about the month of research invested so far and how “The Shadow” deters poachers from ever coming back. As Henry sets off to discover the curious company, he is introduced to a Jack Milton (Jay Klay) – who is in fact the “The Shadow”. After Jack’s initial hesitancy to allow Henry to come along on his wild-life protection duties, he succumbs to his pleads – on the condition that everything is off-the-record. The narrative takes a dark turn when Henry realizes the consequences of the preservation.
