Jimmy had it all: wealth, power, and a complete lack of empathy. Then his father-the one man who tolerated his sociopathic tendencies-cut him off, forcing him into the horror of employment. After a string of job failures (some involving homicidal plants), Jimmy reluctantly starts absorbing life lessons as an ivory tower wanderer. Over time, he evolves into something resembling a functional human being.Armed with a barely functional spaceship-the Melanoma Ferret-Jimmy assembles a misfit crew of escaped prisoners to tackle paying jobs: a doctor who communes with his late wife, a pilot with the bravery of a fainting goat, an egotistical vending machine, and a mysterious stowaway. Instead, they accidentally screw up and become heroes.
