There are a ZILLION of these "gallery" plugins. As many as there opinions as to how it should be done!
Just Google for them. Maybe some developers here will mention their favorites.
They are more CSS than JS, and I wouldn't limit myself to "jQuery plugins".
They will tend to either be highly opinionated and really meant to work just one way, or else more general (but bloated) with many options to attempt to satisfy all the opinions...
I realize probably not the answer you were looking for!
Look for one that matches YOUR opinion the closest, so that you won't have to customize it.
