In a remote Mayan jungle, a scientific impossibility exists: a "Zone of Tranquility" where apex predators, particularly jaguars, are inexplicably docile. For decades, this paranormal cold case has baffled scientists.
Host Jax Ember investigates the vine-choked ruin at the center of the phenomenon. While researchers search for rational explanations, local legends speak of a "child who sang to the beasts," leaving a harmony imprinted on the very stones of the place. Armed with sensitive recording equipment, Jax captures a sound that should not exist—a discovery that blurs the line between science and ancient magic.
This is the first piece of a much larger puzzle. Echoes of the Wanderer is a special five-part prequel event, tracing the footsteps of a single, unseen figure through history.
