Welcome to Rosemary Acres, where absolutely everything is perfect. The lawns are perfectly trimmed, the townhouses are all the exact same color, and even the streets are named after spices. But for ten-year-old T.R. and his twelve-year-old brother Danny, this new town feels a little too perfect. After their parents' divorce, their mother moved them here for a fresh start, but the boys miss the busy, exciting streets of Chicago. Ever since the move, T.R. has felt like he is just trailing behind his older brother like a loyal dog. Danny is trying hard to be the man of the house, but he is changing, and T.R. is worried about him. To make matters worse, the boys quickly discover that the only way to have any fun in Rosemary Acres is by breaking the community's endless list of strict rules. When they meet Paul, a moody and unpredictable new friend, things start to spin out of control. Paul's rebellious attitude pushes the boundaries further than ever, and T.R. realizes that his brother might be heading straight for serious trouble. Step into T.R.'s shoes as he learns how to find his own voice, protect his brother, and figure out what it really means to be a true friend.
