With no plans for the future and an inability to comprehend a world in which he gets in trouble for standing up to bullies, delinquent orphan Cricket, almost eighteen, contemplates ending it all. However, he starts to reconsider when his longtime crush suddenly begins talking to him. Alternately comedic and tragic, Cricket's profane but inventive narration crafts a heartrending portrait of the antihero.
