And Nick must flee.

At Home, Chad minds fresh eggs. And he’s really bad at it. His breakage ratio might improve if he had clean sheets. Or a bed. Or socks. Or shoes.

Klint, former all-star tormentor of Saw Creek High, is all-in on the communal farm they tend along with Beck, a kid on the spectrum - who doubles as Juni’s look-out.
