Rescued from slaughter by the young boy, Nicholas, he finds a new home. However, Fly's past traumas have left him terrified of people.

Alice and Jacob were familiar with horsemanship and horse training following Monty Roberts' principles.
But was it enough for Fly to overcome his deep fear and mistrust of humans?
Could their foster child, Nicholas build trust with Fly using his strong empathetic abilities?
Would it be better for Fly to be laid down?
