    Summary

    Shane has lived in Pelican Town for the last five years, renting his aunt's spare bedroom as he tries to provide for his goddaughter Jas. He rots in a dead-end retail job by day and drinks away his nights to cope. He wants nothing more than to be the man his family deserves, but even when he's sober, he knows he's just a waste of space.

    Ember has been disinherited from her religious family but feels equally out of place in the Zuzu City punk scene. She is adrift without a course, unable to stomach one more day of her Joja Corp internship. She's not certain her life has a point anymore. In fact, the only time she feels capable of happiness is when she is elbow deep in dirt at the community garden, or making something with the harvest in her cramped apartment kitchen.

    Ember and Shane get off to a bad start when she moves to her grandfather's dilapidated farm next to the ranch. It gets worse when she starts her new job at Joja Mart to cover living expenses, making them not only neighbors but co-workers. But even when tempers have flared and shit has very much hit the fan, these two fucked up people find themselves drawn together in a family they did not expect to find.
