Overview
When superstition plagues a small village, the workers go on a strike, leaving time for reflection. What started as a normal day in the dreary mining town of Trennach quickly spirals into disarray after the sound of the Seven Whistlers is heard, warning of impending doom. The Seven Whistlers are harbingers of death, said to be the spirits of fishermen and miners killed by accidents related to their trade. According to the legend, an unmistakable bird’s cry can be heard right before a tragedy or death, alerting those nearby. After a miner in Trennach is pierced by this sound, he warns his fellow workers, who band together and refuse to go in the mines to work. However, not everyone in the small town is so inclined to believe in legends, or the word of just one man.
