Kasper Asterion's life in the small, forgotten town of Zevenoka was dominated by his mother Liora's insatiable appetite and her transformation into the fattest pig imaginable. As she grew, her belly became a symbol of their family's gluttony, and Kasper's daily routine involved feeding her, taunting her, and watching her become more and more immobile. When a mysterious attack on the town left Liora helpless and Zevenoka sealed off, Kasper was left with memories of his mother's obsession with being the fattest pig and the unanswered questions about the town's fate.
