While exploring the not so nearby neighborhood of her newest foster mother, D Foster claims Neeka and the unnamed narrator as her new friends. A strange, but effective friendship ensues as the three 11 year-old girls live through the ups and downs of life in Queens, NY. D is that friend we all have had. The one who is unafraid and "cool". The fearless one who brings adventure and wonder into our lives.
Along with the story of D, we are also introduced to the relationship between Neeka and the narrator as they learn more about themselves and where they stand on life's issues. One such issue being Neeka's older brother Tash who is in jail for making a bad choice. Feelings on his homosexuality are also explored through the narrator's thoughts.
