Capulin Service and Cafe lies just a few miles from the volcanic cone which provides the name for travelers headed west, maybe to the volcano for a visit maybe to the mesa for a spectacular view of the land dotted with very old cones, or to Raton a western town nestled next to the Sangre de Christo mountains. The collection of individuals passing through the doors of the station and Capulin Cafe vary in social status and heritage, but the common link lies with their desire for "better."

Some carry scars of the past, others dream of their lifetime in a better place. While they wait for fate to extract them from the gerbil wheel; their lives unfold in typical fashion for an outpost in the New Mexico desert.

Narrated by one with nothing to gain, and no place to go, Under the Pegasus shares the needs of everyday people trapped in the cycle of routine.
