| Summary:
The Sliders stumble upon a gangland slaying and befriend the lover of the victim,
a nightclub owner named Angie. Unfortunately, her troubles were just beginning. When
Angie's employees quit in mass, Rembrandt, Maggie, Mallory and Diana come to her aid and
take up the slack as employees of the club. The Sliders soon learn that this is a world
where caffeine is an illegal substance and the club they are working in is actually a
speakeasy. Realizing the best way to dodge trouble on this Earth is to steer clear of any
illegal activity, the Sliders wisely decide to move on and to avoid any further
involvement with Angie and her operation. But this is easier said than done. Diana is
stricken ill from a bad dose of synthetic caffeine. Angie is kidnaped by gangsters who are
synth-caf bootleggers and the Sliders find themselves in the middle of a sting operation
between the police, the coffee mafia, a "Columbian caffeine connection" and a
good cop gone bad who just happens to be Rembrandt's duplicate! |
