In "Homecoming," a marine major returning from a historic lunar orbit crash-lands near a slumbering Gorgo and his mother, sparking an unlikely bond. As the two form a quiet, trusting friendship, the marine helps guide Gorgo on a journey across the country—leading him toward a distant city where he might finally find his way home.
When a father explains to his son why nature's predators exist, he reveals a world where hawks hunt sparrows, snakes strike without warning, and piranhas strip flesh in seconds—each creature playing its part in a brutal natural balance. From wolves to crocodiles to man's own worst enemy, "If You Were–" explores the hidden dangers that surround us and the reason every living thing must have something to fear.
