Fifteen -year-old Vernon Gregory Little is in trouble. And it has something to do with the recent massacre of sixteen students at his high-school. News of the tragedy serves as open invitation to the media and soon the quirky backwater of Martirio is flooded with wannabe CNN hacks all-too-keen to lay claim to their fifteen minutes, and lay blame for the killings at Vernon’s feet. Eulalio Ledesma, in particular, sniffs out the opportunity to make good at Vernon’s expense and as the media net tightens, Vernon finds himself drawn into a series of increasingly bizarre circumstances. Eventually, with the LSD safely diluted in the ginseng, and essential travel funds procured from a distasteful trade-off with old Mr Deutschman, he succumbs to the workings of fate and takes off for Mexico and a date - or so he hopes - with the divine Taylor Figueroa.
