They Imagine Texas is the story of six lives, two deaths and Perros Salvajes County.

On a vacant Sunday morning a 28-year-old teacher, Katherine Moliere, is out for a solitary run when she observes a man in a playground knock his son to the ground. Moliere, righteous in her way, intervenes. The man Moliere encounters is Tibor Rauscha, prominent in Texas politics and the wealthiest person in Perros Salvajes. When Moliere crosses his path Rauscha has recently divorced wife one and is engaged to wife two, Fanny DaCosta.

None of them know it but Moliere's encounter at the playground has set in motion a sequence in which little things blow up into big ones. When they cross paths again four years later one death has already happened. Weeks later there will be another.

Even then, Texas is not finished with Katherine Moliere.

They Imagine Texas has been called "a broken-hearted comedy." It is a story of haunted lives and haunted houses, and a guide to the categories of justice and mercy. With camping and tacos.
