It's a contemporary take on Oscar Widle’s fable. Fourteen-year-old Arbor and his best friend Swifty are excluded from school and are outsiders in their own community. The two meet Kitten, a local scrap merchant, and collect scrap metal for him, using a horse and cart. Swifty has a natural gift with horses, while Arbor has sound business acumen and a way with words. They make a good team and work well together, until Arbor becomes as greedy and manipulative as Kitten.
