This establishment is a grungy, congenial coffee shop called Sip. To do this the group decides to take over the new chain coffee shop, Wackford's, that has come to put Sip out of business. As the narrator, Leon, puts it, "Taking over the Wackford's might not prove any real point. It might not save Sip. But at least I'd be doing something." Selzer's character are dead on, and the target audience, though a limited one, will thoroughly enjoy this. Some side plots, such as Dustin's, one of Leon's friends, quest to triumph over his nemesis, the school's gym teacher, Coach Hunter, by writing him morbid poems, are very entertaining.
