Based on the terrifying true story of Robert ‘Willy’ Pickton, the pig farmer turned prolific ladykiller whose horrific crimes shocked the world.

With his herculean hog, Balthazar, by his side, Willy and his menagerie of colorful cohorts terrorized Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside for almost two decades until his 2002 arrest that uncovered the most bizarre series of murders Canada has ever seen.
