A dead prostitute. A missing garden hoe. Who hoed the ho?
Five jailbird teens are sentenced to do community service time at the Olive Branch Garden Center. Cops watch their every move and bad luck dogs their every step.
A sick-nasty gamer named Pone, a spoiled, self-centered rich kid they call Cash, Shroom, an ex-gang banger with a badass attitude, Bean, a really smart, but bumbling idiot, and a very angry prostitute named Spaz stumble upon a dead girl in an alley.
Pone grabs his cell phone to call 911. Shroom wants to blow and let someone else find her. Bean pukes on his new chucks and says nothing. Spaz sees her life mirrored in the dead girl’s eyes. Cash missed the whole thing, but he's also missing a garden hoe.
Not really caring what the others want, Pone digs his heels in to investigate, needing to satisfy the “want to know” bug. He thinks they should join together to find who offed the dead chick. So how can he convince his new "friends," who can barely stand each other, to solve the mystery of dun it?
