'Kauwboy' is the story of a 10-year-old boy endeavoring to accept the realities of his life. With his mother absent, Jojo spends a lot of time by himself when his father is at work. Frequently, he secretly gets on the phone with his mother and holds long conversations with her during which he assures and tries to convince both her (and himself) that he and dad are doing fine in their day-to-day lives. One day, Jojo discovers a fallen baby Jackdaw and, after failing to put back the bird in its nest, he decides to take care of it. Jojo has to hide his new friend from his dad who believes that 'Animals and plants have no place inside'. Longing for a friend Jojo decides to risk it anyway. He also meets the girl Yenthe who helps him take care of the little bird. On the surface it seems that Jojo is neglected by his father. But as the story develops, one begins to understand that the problems with their communication has deeper roots. And what is the story about Jojo's mother?
