What do you do when the thing hurting your family is too big for anyone to stop?
Twelve-year-old JR has one enemy... and it sits right next door.
The stinking dumping ground beside his neighborhood isn't just ugly. It's suffocating. The waste keeps piling higher. The smell seeps into their home.
And it took his only sister... at least that's what JR believes.
Every day it grows, threatening more homes, more lives, and more dreams. To JR, it's more than garbage.
It's the reason his world changed forever.
While adults argue, delay, and look the other way, JR decides he can't stay silent. If he can't stand up for his own family now, how will he ever stand up for his community, or the world, when he grows up? Fueled by courage, determination, and a heart that refuses to give up, JR sets out on a mission that seems impossible: "Stinky Dumping Ground has got to go!"
But can one kid really take on something so big?
