Sugar Legowski-Gracia wasn't always fat, but fat is what she is now at age seventeen. Not as fat as her mama, who is so big she hasn't gotten out of bed in months. Not as heavy as her brother, Skunk, who has more meanness in him than fat, which is saying something. But she's large enough to be the object of ridicule wherever she is: at the grocery store, walking down the street, at school. Sugar's life is dictated by taking care of Mama in their run-down home - cooking, shopping, and, well, eating.

Outside the facility, the peace laws must be observed. For a hundred and fifty points, you can spend an hour with a designated scapegoat. No one outside will ever know what you do there. You are encouraged to shout, to complain, to cry, if it will help to calm you. For two hundred points, you may strike them. They will never strike back. Abrasions, heavy bruising, first degree burns, are five hundred. The scapegoats will endure it and they will never name you or your... needs. A few thousand if your rage requires you to break a bone. Scapegoats are not law-abiding like you. They deserve it.
