Riassunto

Searching for his own piece of the capitalist pie, pop culture wizard Lech "Leggy" Starlitz takes on the role of road manager for G-7, a hot female rock group, but his plans for success are threatened when his pesky daughter arrives, a Turkish contact turns out to be a right-wing hit man, his musicians turn political, and his schemes spark an unexpected apocalyptic confrontation.
