The town at the bottom of a phosphate pit is a depraved and twisted Paradise, covered in white dust. Its inhabitants are like escaped participants in a freak show, grotesque personalities with their own unquenchable passions. They are waiting for the mining company to return and for the phosphate plant, in whose shadow they while away their time at the bottom of the pit, to start working again.
But the fate of the town and its inhabitants is taken into the hands of a former go-go dancer, Dolly, who once won the title of Phosphate Queen in a beauty contest.

Harshly and often cruelly, she subjugates the situation, breaking lives and turning Garden Hills into a tourist trap that only the most twisted mind could devise.
The carnival of surrealism and wild antics committed because all of Crewes's characters seem to live and act in a vacuum soon fades into the background before the writer's skill in humanizing even such heroes, even in such impossible circumstances.
