Living in Winnipeg, Tracey Berkowitz relays fragments of her life in a fragmented manner. She considers herself a normal fifteen year old in hating herself and hating her life. She has a dysfunctional relationship with her parents who treat her with disdain while they themselves have their own dysfunctional marriage. They have placed her in therapy with Dr. Heker, she believing to absolve themselves of any responsibility when she turns psycho. She in turn believes the therapy useless especially in Dr. Heker being more concerned about getting her $80/hour fee than about Tracey as a patient. Tracey often rides the bus at night with no set destination solely to be with other depressed people. She is bullied at school for her non-caring androgyny, specifically by the boys in not yet having developed physically among a classful of buxom and overtly feminine female classmates. The one bright light is her fantasy of being in a loving, committed relationship with Billy Zero, a classmate new to her school, it unclear if she realizes that it is not reality. This phase of her life is set against the backdrop of her own measures to find her missing nine year old brother, Sonny Berkowitz, Tracey who her parents blame for him being missing in the first place in Sonny following Tracey out of the house - when Tracey was grounded - in Sonny and Tracey's continuing game of he pretending to be her dog.

She then quickly stands up and briefly flashes most of her right breast from the side while wrapping herself in a sheet. From The Tracey Fragments.
