Palmer LaRue har gruet seg dagen han fyller 10 år. I byen hans får 10-åringer jobben som "wringer" på byens årlige familiefestival, Pigeon Day, hvor 5000 duer er løslatt fra kasser og skutt ned i en konkurranse om en skarpskytterpris. Historien følger Palmers reise fra et liv drevet av frykt og lengselen etter å bli akseptert til et liv hvor han får selvtillit til å stå opp for det han tror.
