Leon is a Jewish estate agent who, during a routine check-up at an infertility clinic, discovers he has something in common with Captain Bligh of the Bounty. Yes, they were both victims of mixed up se(a)men. It turns out that his biological father is not quite as Jewish as he'd hoped and is, in fact, a Yorkshire pig farmer. Despite their differences, Leon is welcomed into the family, but loyalties are torn when he accidentally breeds the first Kosher pig.—Tim McSmythurs <Tim.McSmythurs@swindon.ericsson.se>
