Anthony, known by his friends as Wood Rabbit, often spends his days wandering the streets in 115 degree heat. To cool off, he and his friends might jump the fence to go for a swim, however, unlike most people his age, that will be his only chance to bathe for the week. Since 21-year-old Wood Rabbit was abandoned by his father, each day is filled with unknowns. His days are spent “hustling” for change, hoping to collect enough money for a bag of chips at Circle K. Throughout his journeys, he’s made both friends and enemies. He never knows where he’ll be tomorrow.

Apparently dust storms aka “haboobs” are quite popular.
