Trent is just a boy, but where he lives is the most interesting part about him. He lives in a neighborhood placed in a wooded area and almost anything goes. He lives across the street from a meth lab ran by 3 of the kids in his class, which he is waiting to see blow up. Behind him lives a transgender lesbian couple who met in prison and decided to start an alpacca farm with a gaurd ostrich on their small 2 acre property they have. Down the road lives a Native American man who works as an I.T. guy at a Fourtune 500 company and runs a cock fighting ring in his backyard. But the most interesting of all of these characters and those to be mentioned is the woman who lives down the street, what she has in her library and what happens when Trent gets dared to knock on her door and ask for a summer job.
