Frankie has a huge TV, a massive bed and food with plenty of sauce – in short, everything a cat needs. Still, he really misses his human pal Gold, who’s been in a psychiatric hospital for months now. Out on the prowl one night, Frankie takes a closer look at the contents of a bin lorry – which promptly departs, with him still in it. By the time it finally comes to a stop, Frankie’s as far from his familiar old neighbourhood as you can get.

As Frankie desperately tries to find his way back home, he bumps into a mysterious girl called Shattab, who, like him, is a bit grubby and all alone. She tells him she’s run away from a ‘bloody-illegals collection centre’. Together, they embark on an adventurous journey through a country in which they’re both strangers.

Along the way, Frankie and Shattab encounter a medley of human and animal characters as they commit ethical theft at a service station, seek refuge in an intensive poultry farm and drift along a river towards "the arsehole of nowhere". All the while, they’re pursued by a sheriff determined to recapture Shattab.

An unforgettable, compelling and tender tale about friendship and what it means to lose your home – funny, smart and utterly moving.
