Juno faces her most dreaded adversary: her relatives. When Juno gets word of her estranged mother s suicide, she returns to her dystopian home town to bury the hatchet along with her. The moment she gets off the train, the past assaults her with embittered sisters, childhood crushes, obnoxious dogs, and a very smitten gang leader with ultraviolent tendencies. Trouble is, the more Juno wonders about her mother s death, the more everyone urges her to get out of town. And the more they urge her to leave, the stronger her own urge gets -- the urge to gut the city s corrupt underbelly.
