A teenage boy lives alone in an apartment in Dead City.
The boy's name is Otis Harlow, he's about 17 years old.
Although he lives alone, some of his neighbours, who at first glance might look like psychopathic hatchet wielding serial killers, have actually taken care of him for some time now.
Otis does have relatives, though. Most notably his older cousin who visits him sometimes.
Other than his lack of company and lack of a nuclear family, Otis leads a quite simple, average life style.
