Izzy is twenty six years old and her sister Rae is fourteen. They find their way to Charleston and into the lives of the Junes the way Hurricane Hugo hit the area in 1989. Rae has stolen a piece of software that produces songs as good as The Beatles' songs, and the Russian owner wants it back. Rae blackmails the Junes into protecting her from a trio of incompetent thugs, befriends some redneck banjo players from down on Bohicket Creek, and plays music with some of the most famous rock n rollers on the planet.
