Hero Gustolette lives and works on one of the largest apple orchards in the world. Not only is Gustolettes an international supplier of apples, but also the heart of the small town. Each year Gustolettes wins many prizes and earns accolades for the best and tastiest apples. Their four prize apple trees are tended and nurtured daily and grow inside an eight foot fenced enclosure secured by a padlocked gate. It is these very trees and the fruit they bear which are the cause of Hero’s heart being broken, first by Chubby and then twice by Milo.
