A little girl in South Korea called Mija takes care of her huge superpig called Okja, they take care of each other, but when the day of the contest arrive, Dr. Wilcox amazed by the size and good health of Okja, he declares Mija and her grandfather as the winners of the contest, however Okja must be taken to New York City, Mija's grandfather takes her to visit the graves of her parents where he presents her with a gold pig and explains to her that rather than buy Okja, which was not allowed, he saved up the money for Okja and bought the solid gold item. Devastated, Mija runs away to Seoul to find Okja, where she sees her as she is being loaded onto a truck. Mija manages to chase down the truck which is eventually intercepted by another truck, run by the Animal Liberation Front (ALF). In the resulting chaos Mija and Okja run away causing havoc though they are eventually saved by the ALF. Recognizing that Mija is Okja's owner, they tell her that their plan is to put a recording device in Okja's ear and let her be re-captured by the Mirando corporation to show how brutally they treat their animals. Mija tells them to return her to the mountains but their translator, K, deliberately lies, causing the group to believe Mija went along with their plan. They abandon her, and Okja is recaptured.

When the footage of the chase goes viral, Lucy calls a meeting with the most important associates of the company, Frank is obviously there, he calls Nancy so she can hear the meeting in secret, Frank and Lucy come out with the idea of fixing things with the public by making Okja and Mija the new face of the company and reunite them in a public event.

Jay, the leader of ALF, slips into Mija's hotel room and tells her that they still plan to rescue Okja while on stage. Mija is reunited with Okja who, blinded and battered does not recognize her and attacks her. Hearing the chaos, Nancy who was eating with Frank on a restaurant decides to intervene, she and Frank arrives to the parade, humilliates her sister one last time and takes charge of the corporation, arresting the members of the ALF, Jay, K, and Mija escape and try to find Okja in a mass killing plant. The group search for Okja but are unable to find her until Mija sees her going up the ramp to the slaughterhouse. In order to save Okja she runs through the killing plant and sees many dead super pigs. Mija sees Okja as she is about to be slaughtered and shows the Mirando employee a photograph of herself with a baby Okja. The man seems moved, but Nancy and Frank arrive and Nancy tells Mija and the man that Okja must be slaughtered, Mija offers the golden pig to Nancy in exchange for Okja's life, Frank cleans it and gives it to Nancy, she accepts and orders the man to free Okja, Nancy and Frank leave with the gold pig.

In a post-credits scene, Jay is released from prison and gets on board a bus with K and the other members of the organization, who reveals that ALF will be attending a major meeting involving all of the Mirando shareholders. Then, they all put on their masks again.
