Ada the youngest of the Bigtree siblings never gives up hope, but when her sister Ossie falls in love and runs away with a ghost boyfriend she goes out to search for her. Their father, The Chief, leaves to try to save the park and make ends meet. Big brother, Kiwi, goes to work for the competition next door, The World of Darkness theme park.

George is short, thin and quick-minded. Lennie is tall, stocky, and dumb. Running from problems that happened at a past job, they are hired on at a large ranch miles away. George has a plan to save the money they earn and buy their own land. The only thing Lennie can think about is the rabbits he will get to raise. Always on guard, George tells Lennie to keep his mouth shut, so no one will know he is not of sound mind. Trouble erupts and chaos explodes by one mistake and a woman with a lingering eye.
