Prion takes us to a post-Covid-19 world in the not-so-distant future, where humans live daily with disease outbreaks and loss of biodiversity, but find a way to live with meaning, joy, and hope. A group of scientists and conservationists suddenly find themselves in the midst of a new, terrifying, pandemic that could end the human race. Using the latest technologies, they come together through hard work and growing bonds of friendship and solidarity with all life only to discover that parrots are the transmitters of the nicknamed, Zealand Zombie Disease. The story begins in New Zealand - then follows people's and parrots' lives in Australia, Honduras, and the USA - and dramatizes the frantic rush to find the cause, as well as how to prevent and cure, the disease. Using their scientific understanding of and experiences with parrots, promises are made to the parrots, and between humans. These might just save the day, until everything suddenly seems to slip away. Though the characters' future is uncertain, ther relationships and commitments illustrate how we might live in hard times of any age.
