The government has created the Municipal Authority camps for non-producers and the cognitively compromised. Those who are homeless or without a job are sent there to live among the other non-producers, away from society
Billy Joe, who boasts of being a reporter until he loses his job, is forced to take puny jobs from the temporary services. His jobs consist of everything from The Road Kill Crew, and Camp Cleanup Crew, to temporary editor for The Municipal Authority newsletter. And each time he bitches about it, he's threatened with ‘the camps’.
When BJ is sent on a job getting the cognitively compromised to sign a voter registration for the Municipal Authority, that is the last straw, or so he tells himself. As he goes from one shut- in to the next with his list, BJ meets drunks, delusional and mad individuals; and they all have a story.
Finally, he meets the man whose name is circled in red on the list, with a warning; Script Gone! Be careful.
Script Gone gets BJ to do something he would normally never do, except for the fact that BJ needs to get at least ten signatures a week or get fired.
When Script tells BJ he will sign the damn registration only if BJ will help him follow through with his plan to kill all the moles in his yard. He does. That is where everything went wrong. And there went the neighborhood.
