Bobby Platt (Christian Bale) is a sweet natured, mentally challenged 24 year-old who has spent his entire life at the mercy of an abusive stepfather (Daniel Benzali). His only comfort in life is his small menagerie of pets and the protective love of his mother. However when Bobbys mother dies from a sickness he cant comprehend, he is left as the heir to the family business, a business his cruel step-father is determined to control. Unwilling to sign ownership of the business over and terrified of his step-fathers threats to have him committed, Bobby flees the only home he has ever known, seeking refuge in a world he knows nothing of. Alone and frightened, Bobby meets the gruff recluse Mr. Summers (John Hurt), whose lifes work is to care for or bury the numerous animals he finds by the side of the road. Intrigued with Bobbys simple nature and love of animals, Mr. Summers begins to teach Bobby the intricacies of his work. With growing confidence and a reborn sense of purpose, Bobby eventually decides to return to London and confront his step-father. But once in the presence of the man, Bobby quickly discovers that the treacherous nature of greed and money is far more wicked than he could have ever imagined.
