The novel takes place at a boys' detention center, which is located in a dried up fictional lake in Texas, here boys dig one hole per day. Most of the story happens around the end of the 1990s, but there are a few flashbacks to Green Lake before it dried up, when there was a beautiful lake and an actual city, and there are a few flashbacks to the mid 1800s that talk about Stanley's great - great - grandfather.
