Listen up, folks! Slippery Jim diGriz is all tangled up in a web of trouble. It all started with a heist gone horribly awry at the Mint on Paskönjak. And if that wasn't bad enough, he found himself facing the grim reaper's embrace, courtesy of a death penalty. Ouch! But don't change the channel just yet, because there's more.
Our hero manages to strike a deal with the powers-that-be to save his sorry hide. The only catch is that the task at hand is as good as a slow and painful demise. It's all about retrieving a sneaky little alien artifact from the desolate planet of Liokukae. Now, listen close, because this planet is no ordinary vacation spot. It's a dumping ground for the galaxy's worst outcasts – you've got your misfits, your murderers, your maniacs, and let's not forget the gratingly annoying ones. Not your typical Sunday picnic, I'll tell you that much.
But Slippery Jim isn't one to back down from a challenge. Going incognito as the fearless frontman of the notorious rock band, The Stainless Steel Rats, he's ready to unleash absolute chaos. And when I say chaos, I mean throwing every rule in the book – musical or otherwise – out the window. Time is of the essence, though. Our slick protagonist has a mere thirty days to bring back that precious artifact. Failure to do so will unleash a slow-acting poison that could turn our dear Jim into a distant memory.
