Can a full grown woman truly love a midget?
A beautiful trapeze artist conspires with a strongman to seduce and exploit a wealthy sideshow performer with dwarfism. As her cruel intentions are revealed, the other “freaks” in the circus community rally to protect one of their own. What follows is a chilling act of retribution that blurs the line between justice and horror.
