A veterinary student abandons his studies after his parents are killed and joins a traveling circus as their vet.
Flashback to the prohibition era, during the Great Depression, where a 23-year-old Polish American Jacob (Robert Pattinson) is a Cornell student. During his final exam, he is informed that his parents have been killed in a car crash. His father (Ilia Volok) has left huge debts, and the bank forecloses on Jacob's home. Feeling there is no point in returning to school and having no home, he jumps onto a passing train where he meets Camel (Jim Norton).
In the morning, Jacob discovers that he jumped on the Benzini Brothers Circus train. He sees a beautiful woman, Marlena (Reese Witherspoon) and meets August (Christoph Waltz), the circus owner, head animal trainer, and Marlena's husband. Jacob reveals he studied veterinary science and has noticed a problem with Silver, the starring horse of the show. August agrees to hire him as a vet for the circus animals.
