Theo was born to be meat—until a mysterious force from the wild opened his farm gate. A pig marked for the knife, Theo knew the pen, the trough, and the boot, but not the wild world. When an ethereal presence from the forest lures him into the woods, he is thrown into a world that is as beautiful as it is brutal. With the whispering winds and the wisdom of the trees to guide him, Theo must learn to awaken the wild animal spirit. He is not alone; a ragged herd of factory farm fugitives trails behind him, all fleeing the same two‑legged locusts. As their search for a safe haven turns into a desperate flight, Theo must lead the herd towards a freedom that may not even exist, risking all their lives to seize it. In a world where every animal wills to live, and wills to live freely, how far will Theo go to realize animal liberation?
