In the discreet little Key West bar that Jake Stonebender established, Fast Eddie Costigan learned to curse back at parrots as he played the house piano; the Reverend Tom Hauptman learned to tend bar bare-chested, and Long-Drink McGonnigle discovered the margarita. Nobody even noticed them save the universe. Unfortunately, they find the bar targeted by the local mafia, and then Jake's wife, Zoey, misuses a time machine and finds herself stranded out of time.
