Dariel is a SWFF, as in Single White Fat Female. Otherwise a typical student at a typical high school. You know, gangs, weapons, boredom, apathy. Neither a Jock nor an Irregular, Dariel is one of the Leftovers, a non-gang member. When the town imposes a 9 p.m. curfew to straighten out everyone under 18, they don't anticipate that she will mobilize an opposition that will reveal the adults' hypocrisies - including embezzlement and child abuse.
