Bruno Victor Benucci III en Madeline Falco hebben een verhaal te vertellen dat begint met de dood van Vics vader en eindigt met een moord. De politie van Hackensack is benieuwd naar de gebeurtenissen, maar het verhaal is complex. Het omvat onder andere een urn met uitstrooi-instructies, de winterse natuur van de Palisades, en een slapende onderzeeër. Er zijn ook twee liedjes over bloemen, een nostalgische kijk op cool zijn, en beelden van zonsondergangen, ijsjes, boomgaarden en kerkhoven. De plot bevat tegenstrijdigheden, een ontsnapping uit een door oorlog verscheurd land, en een verhalenverzamelaar. Een verlaten kas fungeert als hoofdkwartier, en er wordt onderzocht hoe je naar iemand luistert die niet praat. Vic mist zijn vader, die twee jaar geleden is overleden. Wanneer de nieuwe vriend van zijn moeder haar een aanzoek doet, raakt Vic in paniek en vlucht het huis uit met alleen zijn vaders urn en verdriet. Op straat ontmoet hij Mad, die hem naar een slaapplaats brengt. Daar ontmoet hij Coco, een elfjarige met een scherpe tong en rapvaardigheden, en Zuz, die niet praat. Baz, de onofficiële leider van de groep, stelt Vic slechts twee vragen. Als hij deze goed beantwoordt, zullen De Kids of Appetite hem helpen de laatste wensen van zijn vader te vervullen.

I am a collection of oddities, a circus of neurons and electrons: my heart is the ringmaster, my soul is the trapeze artist, and the world is my audience. It sounds strange because it is, and it is, because I am strange.   After the sudden collapse of her family, Mim Malone is dragged from her home in northern Ohio to the “wastelands” of Mississippi, where she lives in a medicated milieu with her dad and new stepmom. Before the dust has a chance to settle, she learns her mother is sick back in Cleveland.   So she ditches her new life and hops aboard a northbound Greyhound bus to her real home and her real mother, meeting a quirky cast of fellow travelers along the way. But when her thousand-mile journey takes a few turns she could never see coming, Mim must confront her own demons, redefining her notions of love, loyalty, and what it means to be sane.   Told in an unforgettable, kaleidoscopic voice, Mosquitoland is a modern American odyssey, as hilarious as it is heartbreaking.
