Trelawny is in Miami, living out of his car, a bright red 1987 Dodge Raider. A recent college graduate, he has yet to find a job and has been kicked out of his father’s house. He performs a series of odd jobs, including working with exotic animals, catering, and working on a reggaetón video, but is not able to support himself. He answers a Craigslist ad from a woman named Chastity who wants to be given a black eye. She is in Saga Bay, near to where he has been parking his car. Recently, a security guard tapped on his window and asked if he had been living out of the vehicle. Although Trelawny denied it, the duvet cover and dishes in the back seat made it obvious. The security guard had been a classmate of his in high school, and he remembered Trelawny having gone to a “fancy” college. The guard comments that he had been smart enough not to fall for the illusion of security that education could provide. He tells Trelawny that he can stay for one more hour, but that his boss is a jerk, and he’s not willing to lose his job by allowing Trelawny to stay for longer.
