The town psychiatrist has decided to switch everybody in Pine Cove,
California, from their normal antidepressants to placebos, so
naturally--well, to be accurate, artificially--business is booming at
the local blues bar. Trouble is, those lonely slide-guitar notes have
also attracted a colossal sea beast named Steve with, shall we say, a
thing for explosive oil tanker trucks. Suddenly, morose Pine Cove turns
libidinous and is hit by a mysterious crime wave, and a beleaguered
constable has to fight off his own gonzo appetites to find out what's
wrong and what, if anything, to do about it.
