It is the same reason why Lucy's friends aren't invited to her house and why she transferred schools when the news got out: she and her mother live in absolute filth. Newspapers, magazines, dishes dirtied years ago, never delivered gifts-the house earned Lucy the name "Garbage Girl". But the mess isn't Lucy's fault, her mother is a compulsive hoarder and her "collections" have been growing for more than 10 years. This story takes place over a span of just about 36 hours because a shocking turn of events forces Lucy to take control of the situation once and for all.
