Hector is Montoya's Shiba Inu, blonde and white coat, brown eyes, red collar. Sally Montoya is Hero and Kel's baby sister. All characters are age 18 or older and live in Faraway Town–small suburban town in the United States that includes a park named Faraway Park that has a hidden Hangout Spot, a small plaza named Faraway Plaza, and a small church named Faraway Church with a cemetery behind it named Faraway Cemetery. Kel, Hero, Sally, and the Montoya parents share a two-story house, where the parents often overlook Kel in favor of Hero, pressuring Hero toward medical school, though their intentions are good. Aubrey, Basil, Kel, Sunny, and Hero met during childhood. Sunny and Mari were set to perform a violin and piano recital, but Sunny stressed the day before and threw his violin—funded by Mari, Hero, Kel, Basil, and Aubrey—down the stairs, breaking it. Mari yelled at Sunny, and in a moment of panic when Sunny, age 12, pushed her, she fell to her death at age 15. To protect Sunny, Basil hid her death as a suicide for four years, hanging her body in a tree with a jump rope noose. After Mari's death, Sunny became a recluse for four years out of guilt. Kel coped by making new friends and focusing on basketball, while Hero fell into depression, refusing to get out of bed or care for himself, guilty for not preventing what he thought was her 'suicide.' Hero yelled at Kel one day, making him cry, before breaking down himself, consoled by his parents who ignored Kel. Seeing Kel's distress finally prompted Hero to apologize and embrace him. He later pursued pre-med to satisfy his parents, despite wanting to be a chef, eventually working part-time as a chef and questioning his career path. Mari was Aubrey's best friend and pseudo-sister, and after her death, Aubrey felt abandoned when no one checked on her for four years, leading her to bully Basil. Kel eventually managed to get Sunny out of his house, reuniting the group. They had a sleepover at Basil's after his grandma died, during which he wouldn’t leave his room. In the middle of the night, Sunny went to Basil’s room to prevent him from suicide; they fought, resulting in Basil stabbing Sunny in the right eye with garden shears. Both were hospitalized, where Sunny finally revealed the truth about Mari's death to the group.
