In a trailer park called Adjacent, next to the Folsom Energy Plant, people have started to vanish. Diaphanta, a chubby red-headed girl known by everyone as Lady Di and her best friend 'Tamir Something Something Mohammed al-Karkhi' who everyone simply calls Tom Jones barely notice the disappearances until their maths tutor, Mrs. Clarke, is abducted too. Mrs. Clarke has left them clues, in the form of maths equations, that lead them all over the trailer park, through hidden tunnels under 'Mount Trashmore' and into the Folsom Energy Plant itself, where Lady Di and Tom Jones and a gang of other misfits uncover the sordid truth about what's really happening there. A reluctant community will have to come together to save itself before it's too late.
