" Eddie always smells the scent of onions in the air--the sharp bitter odor of hopelessness and anger that haunts the poor side of Fresno. After his cousin is killed, his aunt urges him to seek out and punish the murderer. To avoid the pressure building in his neighborhood, Eddie takes a landscaping job in an affluent suburb. But this too goes awry when his boss's truck is stolen while in his care. In the end, with his money gone and a dangerous gang member stalking him, Eddie's only choice is to join the military and hope that they can give him a better future than the one Fresno seems to offer. He doesn't know what to do after that since the chances of him catching the murderer have dramatically decreased, and he hopes to find a better way of life for himself. He tries to find a new beginning for himself and start over. He tries to forget the past and start over. His tries for himself to start over are ambitious, as he learns how harsh life can really make things when situations are already very bad, and are beginning to seem as if they were getting worse. "
