Kamil's father went into the woods one day and never came out again. Ever since then Kamil has done his best to care for his pining mother. He goes to pick up the weekly rations on which their little community survives. He tries to do well at school, even though Miss Milea, his teacher, appears constantly panic-stricken and is always covering her left hand. He also exercises the dog, Solace, every evening, running it through the very same woods his father vanished into. But one day, he strays too far and finds himself standing before the barb-wired fence of the Squawk Box, a poultry-processing plant that ought to have been closed down long ago. Only it isn't. In fact, it seems to be running as strong as ever. And it's not processing chickens anymore.
