A pompous 15-year old boy named Jeff moves into a high-end suburban neighborhood with his possibly half-Chinese brother Liu, and his vain parents, Margaret and Peter. One day, he meets three 17-year old gangbangers named Randy, Keith, and Troy, and they tear through every shred of Jeff's humanity, causing him to violate the thesaurus, spend a good two paragraphs picking out clothes for a birthday party, and get lit on fire from a "thing" of bleach and vodka. And murder innocent people for no rhyme or reason.
