In the dusty town of Martirio, Texas, fifteen-year-old Vernon Gregory Little finds himself in a whirlwind of chaos after a school shooting leaves his best friend as the prime suspect. With the media frenzy and a community eager to point fingers, Vernon becomes the unlikely scapegoat. As he navigates the absurdities of justice and small-town life, Vernon’s journey is a darkly comedic exploration of innocence, guilt, and the search for truth amidst a sea of lies.
I'm not a bad person. I'm a person who does bad things.
