Deet has always known that he's different from other people: he just doesn't like the same things they do. He's worlds apart from his parents, whose common sense is nonexistent: to them, sense means buying a red Corvette when you've already run out of money. Deet keeps his life together because he's organized and efficient. When his dad is caught with drugs, arrested, and put in jail, Deet doesn't know how to hold it together anymore.
