Zach Lewis, a spirited young boy of thirteen, is a member of the Jeromeington tribe, a group of about ten school children who have formed a unique society in the woods behind their suburban neighborhood. Zach, with his long, unkempt brown hair and piercing brown eyes, is a typical British lad, yet his life is anything but ordinary. He worships Jerome, an average black American man who, unbeknownst to the world, is a god in disguise. Zach's unwavering faith in Jerome fuels his daily endeavors, from constructing elaborate dens out of scavenged materials to engaging in mock battles against their rival tribe, the Jizzingtons.

Zach's desire to prove his worth to Jerome drives him to excel in every task he undertakes. He dreams of one day being recognized as Jerome's most loyal follower, a dream that seems just out of reach due to the constant rivalry with the Jizzingtons. This conflict not only tests Zach's physical prowess but also his loyalty and faith in Jerome. Despite these challenges, Zach's resilience shines through. He organizes his fellow tribe members, strategizing and leading them into battle with a fervor that belies his young age.

His unique quirk is his habit of speaking in a mix of British slang and phrases he's picked up from old American movies, a trait that endears him to his friends and confuses his enemies. Zach's journey is one of perseverance and faith, as he navigates the trials of tribal warfare and the quest for divine approval. His efforts are rewarded when Jerome, impressed by Zach's dedication, bestows upon him a small token of his power, a glowing stone that Zach wears around his neck as a symbol of his faith and status.

The conflicts in Zach's life are not just external but internal as well. He struggles with doubts about his worthiness and the true nature of Jerome's divinity. Yet, it is these very conflicts that propel him forward, shaping him into a leader among his peers. As the story unfolds, Zach's journey with the Jeromeingtons and his battles against the Jizzingtons continue, each encounter bringing him closer to understanding the true meaning of faith and loyalty.
