Society has rejected Jack Plum: born with a disfigurement, he is labeled either a monster or an imbecile by his abusive mother and thoughtless neighbors. But Jack has created a haven, his "pigtopia," a shelter in his cellar, with a tunnel out into the woods, built with his long-lost father, and shared with his beloved pet pigs. Then Jack meets Holly Lock, a sensitive young teenager who lives nearby, and offers her a piglet. Together they forge an unlikely and beautiful friendship. But society and fate intervene and Jack's secret world is threatened by forces beyond his control.
