At only a few weeks old, Jack the kitten is all alone and on the run. To avoid the fate his mother, brothers and sisters suffered at the hands of cruel humans, Jack escapes.

Through tragedy and grace, Jack learns that not all humans are inhumane and cruel. "Jack is a cat of unusual sensitivity and empathy.
