No good deed deserves to go unpunished, or so it seems. Ron tries to break up a bar fight and ends up going to jail for his trouble. In prison he is given a bottle of illegal moonshine and somehow ends up naked, straddling a pot-bellied pig, earning the title of "The pig sticker"

On the outside, Ron's parole officer thinks it's funny to let the moniker slip out in a conversation but the abattoir boss doesn't want to risk any funny business on his watch. Sacked from his job, evicted from his accommodation and left without any money Ron is at rock bottom.

With no money, no job, no address, and all the terms of his parole broken, he has little choice but to go on the run. When the very institute that he is running from offers him a job, Ron begins to realise all is not what it seems.
