The novel takes place at a boys' juvenile detention center situated in the dried up bed of a fictional lake in Texas. Most of the story is set in contemporary time, around the end of the 1990's. There are flashbacks to the town of Green Lake, which existed one hundred ten years earlier before the lake dried up.
