It's 1968, and anti-war activist, free-loving Rip is in San Francisco, grooving at Summer Solstice in Golden Gate Park. He takes a hit of acid from a "beautiful stranger" . . . . and wakes up 20 years later. Follow the adventures of our furry, freaked-out hero as he finds out where his friends are... what happened to the revolution... who was the mystery lady and what mission she has planned for him the cold, new world of 1988. |
