First, Jaden's dad loses his job at the Detroit auto plant. Then they lose their house. Then they spend a night in a homeless shelter. And when things can't get any worse, they wind up in a small house in Shappaway, Oklahoma, where Jaden's father accepts a job in a fertilizer plant-with the help of his obnoxious brother-in-law, Burley Jack. (Father of Jaden's obnoxious cousin, Claude Lee.) Jaden tangles with his bully cousin and his cousin's two sidekicks, whom Jaden quickly dubs the Three Stooges.
