The book follows Edna Shinglebox, a neurotic and prudish girl under the thumb of her controlling parents, and Marsh Mellow, an eccentric and intelligent rebel trying to cope with issues surrounding his father. Exploring themes of death, sex, romance, politics, friendship, psychiatric abuse, the death of a pet and alcoholism, the story brings Edna and Marsh together as friends, despite having no interest in sex at all (much to the chagrin of Edna's mother) after a series of strange events occur within their home community.
