Wake up and smell the catastrophe. The sun never sets upon gigantic Biddenbrooks Coffee Inc., but if tiny Undergrounds, the last independent coffeehouse in Los Angeles is to survive, it must find a way to bring the empire to its knees. Roy Makonnen, an Ethiopian Jew and owner of Undergrounds not only has his business at stake. He and Morris Bidden have bad blood going way back. Both are guilty of murder and only Bidden knows where the bones are buried. Roy has a plan to bring down Biddenbrooks: He and a cadre of loveable losers are on a mission to find the legendary strain of coffee that will reopen the doors to Eden, a secret bean that will change humanity forever. It is their only chance before losing the last keys to a fading world of poetry and paradise, where magic still thrives despite being crushed under the bleak menus of the modern world. You are what you drink. Order with caution.
