The PigTrail is a winding scenic byway that cuts through the heart of the Boston Mountains of western Arkansas. Named for the torturous little trails carved out by the wild pigs of Arkansas known as Razorbacks, it is a beautiful but sometimes dangerous path to follow. The road clings to the rugged landscape and its many switchbacks and hairpin curves frequently hide the upcoming panoramic views or stunningly steep drop offs. PigTrail, the story, is likewise a contortionist. The characters are frequently common, often frustrated, and sometimes surprisingly cunning. Their language is that of the local people, and their dreams are of those oppressed by their work, their circumstances, or of their own greed. The quote, "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation" is the basis of PigTrail. A simplistic plan to rob a bank creates an increasingly complex situation that draws the characters into situations of hazard, destruction and death along the PigTrail. Only the last switchback of the story reveals who gets the money and at what cost.
