Overview
Four college researchers come to the small Texas town of Des Paire looking to study the legendary feral hogs that live in the forest just beyond the city limit. What they find, however, is that Des Paire has a secret . . . a dark secret dating back to the late 1800s involving godless beliefs, a community divided in a constant battle between good and evil, and the supernatural truth behind Hell Hogs of Des Paire.
Description
Since the mid 1800s the rural land surrounding Des Paire, Texas has been known outwardly for two things; fine Monastic wine and the sport of hunting wild pigs. The French and German immigrants who settled this part of Texas brought the boars and mating sows with them from their homeland for sport and sustenance. Little did they realize that years later the seed of their good intentions would mate with the nuisance of the modern day feral hog to produce an aggressive offspring that would stalk the nightmares of even the most seasoned and well prepared hunter. But, the dirty little secret the town has kept hidden for almost as long is privy only to the locals and discussed strictly in private. It is the glue, the yin and yang that has kept things in-check for all these years. It is a delicate balance of extremes within two polar opposite communities where each lives the spiritual life he has chosen and a delicate truce is honored one day at a time. Four college agricultural research students come to the small town looking to study the legendary feral hogs that live in the forest just beyond the city limit. What they find, however, is the truth behind Des Paire's secret . . . a dark secret involving godless beliefs, a community divided in a constant battle between good and evil, and the supernatural truth behind Hell Hogs of Des Paire.
