    Johnny Freak Show is in a fix (well, several fixes really) and his friends aren’t helping. Try as he might, that teenage Holy Grail (i.e., the getting of the leg over)? Well, it just isn’t happening. Starting in school, and then over time escalating to the pub, his luck remains consistently dire. Beer helps initially of course, but in the end serves merely to deaden the pain of his perpetual disappointment. Will he prevail, ultimately? Or is he destined to live the life of a reluctant Eunuch? Accompany Johnny as he wallows through the personal minefield of ignominy that defines his very existence. Experience with him the horror of involuntary erectile 'situations' and ginormous exploding carbuncles. See how a dastardly linguistic affliction conspires to muddy his amorous waters at the eleventh hour. Observe how he arrives at the eventual conclusion, that Rock Star Demi Gods are, when all is said and done, not really all that they think they are.

When he sees Atlanta, with her streaked hair and body piercings, you don't have to be psychic to feel the electricity. Just as the group gathers, a body is discovered under bizarre circumstances. It looks like suicide, but when the ghosts from last year show up with a strange ethereal companion, the FreeKs and their adult mentors have to conclude it's a murder. And they're being drawn into it. It's out of the frying pan into the fire when the murderer targets two at FreeK Camp for abduction and murder. But why these two? As the victims are taken, new talents and an assist from an unexpected ally all come into play. But the sun is coming up and time is running out.
