Setting Tangerine takes place in Tangerine, FL during present times. During the beginning, some took place in Houston, TX.

Problem There are multiple problems in Tangerine. The main one is that Paul plays soccer very well. However, he is kicked off of his schools soccer team because of his IEP for being legally blind. The second problem is that Paul knows Erik is a bad person. But, no one will believe him.

Solution The solution to the first problem was that Paul transferred to Tangerine Middle School without an IEP. There he played backup. The solution to the second problem was that Mom found items Erik and his friend, Arthur, stole. Paul then ratted Erik out to the police about a murder Erik and Arthur committed.

Theme-Pauls Vision Paul is legally blind, so, naturally he cant visually see as well as a normal human being. But, he can see (meaning understand) things better than his parents.
