Synopsis

‘Billy were six foot tall and weighed about sixty pounds soaking wet. Paint him white and light him up in the dark he would’ve looked like one of those skeletons you see on Halloween. That’s what Mr Cooper used to say, what he told everyone who came by.’

So begins the story of Billy, part of a travelling Freak Show, and told through the eyes of his best friend.

It hurts to look at Billy, but Billy’s best friend believes that if everyone could only get past that hurt they would see Billy was just like them after all.

But not everyone thinks that way.

No matter how hard they look, some people just can’t see the real you.
