By Kitty Fitzgerald.

The bizarre, the beautiful and the brutal converge in this unusual and poignant tale. Jack Plum has created a paradise for pigs in the cellar of his home in the North West. This is made more unusual by the fact that Jack is a 35-year-old man with special needs. When he befriends young Holly Lock, they both delight in this secret underworld. But nothing lasts for ever, and the pair battle for survival in a world which is not ready for outsiders.
