Dave, Mike, Cyril, and Moocher are working-class friends living in the college town of Bloomington, Indiana.

They spend much of their time together swimming in an old abandoned water-filled quarry. They sometimes Town and gown with the more affluent Indiana University Bloomington students in their hometown, who habitually refer to them as "cutters", a derogatory term for locals related to the local Indiana Limestone industry and the stonecutters who worked the quarries.
