Juanie is a painter. His canvas: a giant egg, big enough to hold a full-grown adult man. Inside that egg is Juanie’s father’s dream: a prizewinning rooster that he hopes will become a star on the cockfighting circuit. When the egg hatches, the bird’s nature collides with Big Juan's vision for him. He embarks on a campaign to toughen the bird, to turn the bird into a warrior. When Juanie learns that most roosters that fight in cockfights die, Juanie searches for ways to save his family and his bird from total oblivion.
