PIG IRON is the story of a traveller who hasn't travelled; a young man fighting for his surname and his very survival.
John-John wants to escape his past. But the legacy of brutality left by his bare-knuckle boxing father, King of the Gypsies, Mac Wisdom, overshadows his life.
As he attempts to trade prejudice, parole officers and local gangs for his 'green cathedral' - the rural landscape in which he seeks solace - Mac's rise and bloody downfall threatens to engulf John-John's present.
