Julie Watts is the boom-boom bombshell manager of the BugHouse be-bop jazz band. And Julie has some serious blues, mourning the accidental death of Slim Watkins, the beloved, inspired piano player for BugHouse. Compliments of an archaic volume found in a mysterious book shop, Julie takes an other-worldy trip to visit Slim in the great beyond.

Finally! Our hero, Jimmy Watts the tenor sax genius, is clean & sober! No more “bug-juice” for Jimmy. Too bad no one told Slim Watkins, Jimmy's piano-playing bandmate. Can Jimmy stay clean when he drops in on Slim for a jam session? Or will it be more bugs on drugs?

Piano man down! Slim Watkins checks out behind “bug-juice”, just as Jimmy Watts, tenor sax avatar, has truly achieved sobriety. Could drummer Ralph Rojas have prevented Slim's demise? Maybe, but he's too busy with sexy Clarise, the leggy jazz fan with a penchant for boffing drummers.
