Billy discovers a book on falconry at the local library and becomes fascinated by its contents. He spends his free time learning about the ancient art and researching falconry techniques. He eventually traps a young kestrel from a nest, appropriating it as his own and decides to train it to hunt.
Despite facing criticism and ridicule from his family, classmates, and teachers, Billy pours his heart and soul into forming a close bond with Kes. He begins training the bird, teaching it to fly to his hand, and eventually progressing to basic hunting skills.
As the relationship between Billy and Kes grows, so does Billy's confidence and self-worth. With Kes as his companion, Billy gains a renewed sense of purpose and motivation in life. He feels a deep connection to the bird and finds a refuge from the hardships he faces daily.
However, as Billy's life starts to show signs of improvement, his hopes are dashed when tragedy strikes. A group of bullies from Billy's school attacks and kills Kes, leaving Billy devastated.
