Leonie's biggest dream is to become a pig farmer. On her parents' farm, she is happily wandering around with her best friend, Skeet, the cat. She is always helping out in any way possible: fertilising the sows, tending to the pigs and helping load the fully grown hogs onto the truck that will bring them to the slaughterhouse. The family farm is helping Leonie learn about the circle of life. However, new laws surrounding nitrogen emissions set by the government are threatening Leonie's parents' life work – their company – into bankruptcy. Together with her cat Skeet, Leonie sees the last pigs disappear from the farm and realises that her dream of living as a pig farmer might not come true.
