Synopsis

Beryl longs for a family that will love her just the way she is, from her pig nose to her curly tail. So, it's with a heavy heart that she embarks on a journey that will put her preconceived notions of wild pigs -- and everything else -- to the test. With the help of the many unlikely friends she meets along the way, Beryl soon discovers that there just might be a place she could call home after all...if she could only get there. One thing's for sure: She's going to try.
