Twelve-year-olds and crack cocaine don't usually go hand in hand, much less in the small-town prairies of Alberta, Canada. Yet, this otherwise ordinary boy found himself on the dealing side of it thanks to a special power of his, to greed, and to an unfortunate chain of events.
It all began when Jerome picked up a funny-looking egg, cooked it, and ate it. That is when he mysteriously started hearing animals talk and realized he could talk back to them. But Jerome's life only took a turn for the worst when he thought it was a good idea to get one of his animals to spy for him on a drug deal he overheard. It wasn't long before the kid found himself sucked into a rough-and-tumble underground world filled with disreputable adults. His only hope became to get out of it unscathed.
