Kei te kaha haere te awhiowhio ki runga i te Moana-a-Kiwa o Mehiko, e whakawehi ana i te tāone takutai o Bois Sauvage, Mississippi, ā, kei te piki haere te āwangawanga o te pāpā o Esch. He tangata inu nui ia, kāore i te kitea i reira, kāore ia e āwangawanga nui ki tētahi atu mea.
Kei te tākai kai a Esch rātou ko ōna teina tokotoru, engari kāore he nui o ngā mea hei penapena. I ēnei rā, kāore e taea e Esch te pupuri i te nui o ngā kai e riro mai ana i a ia; tekau mā whā ōna tau, ā, e hapu ana. Kei te kimi puku tōna teina, a Skeetah, i ngā toenga kai mō te whānau hou a tana pitbull, e mate ana i te oneone. I taua wā, ka ngana ngā teina, a Randall rāua ko Junior, ki te pupuri i tō rāua mana i roto i tētahi whānau e roa ana i runga i te tākaro tamariki, engari kāore i te nui i runga i te whakatipu tamariki.
I te mutunga whakamiharo o ngā rā tekau mā rua e hanga ana i te anga o te pukapuka, ka tū ake tēnei whānau kore wareware - he tamariki kore whaea - hei patu whakahere tetahi mō tetahi i ngā mea e taea ana e rātou, hei tiaki me hei poipoi i ngā wāhi e onge ana te aroha - hei tū atu ki te anga atu ki tētahi atu rā.
He pukapuka ngākau nui mō te aroha whānau me te hapori ahakoa ngā āhuatanga katoa, me te tirohanga whakamataku ki ngā āhuatanga mokemoke, nanakia, me te whakawhāiti o te rawakore o te taiwhenua, Whakaora i ngā Wheua he mea whakakī ki te rotarota, ki te whakakitenga, ā, ki te tūturu hoki.Mai i te kaiwhakaputa.)
