Jake White's house is a dump. It's completely jam-packed with everything imaginable, all covered in dirt and grime and home to dozens of cats. Everyone calls it the Garbage House. The mess only seems to be getting bigger as his mother continues to bring more into their already filled home. Jake's future looks just as bleak as the house's. A twenty-year-old stoner drop-out who's been in and out of trouble, he's treading water in the basement of his mother's hoard, and it doesn't look like he'll ever get out. The only thing he's got going for him is a girl named Jezera, a fifteen-year-old who's desperate to escape her home life and is immediately drawn to the chaos and freedom Jake and his house seem to offer. He quickly make's her the focus of his ambition, his reason to think about the future and get his life together. When Jake backslides into the back of a squad car, he's surprised to find help and support from a pro-life group headed by his friend's mother. There he is vividly confronted with the politics and controversy surrounding abortion, a subject he'd been mostly neutral about. That is until his girlfriend becomes pregnant with his child. Jezera wants an abortion, and he's more than heartbroken. . . He wants to stop Jezera from terminating the pregnancy and the future life of his baby. . . at any cost.
