It is set in a dystopian future where rival gangs the 245 and the 248 fight for control by challenging each other in a dance-fight video game. L Dubba E, the leader of the 245 gang, battles and defeats BTRO, the head of the 248 gang, and dies as a result. His younger brother JTRO is traumatized and leaves the FP. One year later, BTRo’s best friend KCDC finds JTRo working as a lumberjack. KCDC convinces JtrO that the FP needs him because LDubba E has taken control of the local alcohol industry and is refusing to sell alcoholic drinks to everyone.

The lack of alcohol has led to an increase in methamphetamine addicts, a decrease in homeless people and, consequently, ducks. The FP returns with KCDC; he meets BLT and reunites with Stacy, an old friend. JTR O and Stacy are interrupted by L DubBA E—now Stacy’s boyfriend—who is picking her up to go to a party. L dubba E then hits him with a baseball bat, rendering him unconscious. Despite his drug-induced visual impairment, J TRO defeats Triple Decka 1K before vomiting and passing out. After a brief fight, JTR o persuades Stacy to leave with him, which causes him to end their friendship with her. After their departure, L Dubbas E arrives and says that he has been cheating on Stacy with her boyfriend, which angers her. She tells him that she has ended her relationship with him. LDubbs E then rapes her and takes her to the same party where he spiked her drink with turpentine. She continued the relationship so she could supply her father with beer to prevent him from turning to drugs. The next day, she tells him she has been beaten by her boyfriend and ends their friendship. After the fight, she apologizes to him and finds him to be the same man she had been with before she left him. After they leave the party, they get back together.
