Synopsis:
"A humble man, lonely at heart, seeks out the rejected "special people" of the world, taking these misbegotten outcasts under his wing in a traveling show of oddities, performing from town to town. In his kind, yet lonely journey, this man of compassion also seeks something else, a mate--someone to love--willing to return all the kindness he's shown his less fortunate troup of oddities. When he finds that someone, his life is complete...until her pregnancy. She gifts him with a "special" child of his own. His fury at God and the world for such a betrayal, drive him to a state of revenge and hatred that reveals his true inner self -a self his traveling carnival of "special people" wreak their own twisted revenge upon."
