The Controversial Rescue Of Fatty The Pig

Cherry Blevins’ house has burned down—her second house in five years. While trying to help save Cherry’s 300-pound pet pig, Fatty, from the flames, Cherry’s brother Floyd and his wife, Connie, are arrested for assault by local law enforcement officer Deputy Dwight Omuhundro. But did they truly assault Dwight? And what started the fire? And why in the world was Cherry keeping a pig for a pet?! As these four characters tell the judge their version of what happened that night and why, they begin to reveal not only the events leading up to the fire, but also all the lost hopes and dreams that make them what they are today. In doing so, they realize that the disappointments of the past don’t necessarily dictate the relationships of the future and that, by attempting to rescue Fatty the Pig, they may have miraculously rescued themselves.
