## Synopsis

Lamar is at the site of his new soon to be home when he suddenly sees an afghan hound running around the road after it had jumped over the property line between Jovine's house and the left side of the Narrow Alley street. Lamar tries to run from the dog by jumping near the house, but the dog is considerably three times faster than him, running at speeds of up to 50 mph, Lamar only being able to run 18 mph. Lamar tries to jump into David's backyard, but he is jumped on by Brandi before he is able to succeed in climbing over the fence.

David hears what's going on and he instantly finds Lamar attempting to get Brandi off of him. As a result, David reports it to his older sister Lina who owns the dog. David shoes the dog back into Lina's yard where the dog is brought back inside. David questions Lamar as to what he is doing on the vacant property, Lamar replies that he's looking on buying the house to get away from his family and he asks how much the house is worth. David replies that he doesn't know how much it is but he tells him that he believes that it is worth $120,000 dollars. Lamar has been saving up money since his senior year of high school and he looks on an opportunity to spend his money.

At Lina's house, Lina is worrisome as to how Brandi had escaped the yard, but Jovine is mind-blown by how far and high an afghan hound can jump fences and how fast they can run. He wants Lina to help him construct a fence that is dog-proof at an afghan-hound level so that Brandi cannot jump over it again. Also pointing out that unlike other typical afghan hounds run at 40 mph, Brandi can run 10 mph faster at 50 mph. Jovine and Lina argue about the situation, though Brandi eventually escapes once again with the two unaware, and she runs all across the narrow road and jumps on David as he is sitting on his front porch. He tries to get away but at this point he is alone.

Lamar tries to convince his friend Tyler to be careful before walking on the property as there is an afghan hound on the loose, but they are forced to drive up a mountain to discuss on what to do about the situation. They drive up to the highest point of the mountain and they begin discussing on an effective solution in regards to keeping Brandi under control and within her backyard. Lamar goes insanely close to the edge to think about his decision, but slips and falls down in front of a few people there, though he lands in the water and ends up with only minor injuries despite the mountain being approximately 700 feet.

Jovine begins constructing the fence himself after his wife refuses to do any work whatsoever. A german shepherd randomly jumps into the yard though it is scared off and chased by Brandi, which chases it around the neighborhood behind the fence. Lina asks Jovine to come in though he refuses as he wants to work on keeping the neighborhood behind him safe. Lina still tells him to come inside as the sun is going down. He goes in while Brandi jumps back into the yard.
