he 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.
Our heroes 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!
