Five teenage boys-Dave, Juniper, Kamio, Gin, and Hilary-are night-fishing at a forest lake when they spot a spy watching them. They follow his trail and discover an army encamped in the woods, celebrating drunkenly while blockading the road to their small town. The boys race back and evacuate the entire town before the soldiers arrive. Enraged at finding the town deserted, the soldiers capture the boys, loot and spoil the homes, and haul them away in an iron cage. They are taken to a vast forest fortress ruled by a brutal, scarred commander called the Big Hog, whom soldiers call the Supreme. Because the boys cost the army its promised women, the Big Hog decrees they must serve as replacements-forced to dress as women and perform feminine roles as punishment. Bound, humiliated, and surrounded by enemies, the boys must survive the camp's cruelty while secretly plotting escape and revenge. A dark tale of friendship, defiance, and turning tables on tyrants.
