A hypnotist, his alien companion animal, and a little girl with terrifying powers. Also a barbecue festival. What could possibly go wrong?
He came for the barbecue.
He stayed to help the little girl.
The Amazing Conroy travels to the edge of human space to attend the best barbecue competition in the galaxy.
When a six-year-old becomes infatuated with Reggie his buffalito, the hypnotist discovers something amiss with the child.
Gel possesses potentially dangerous abilities - abilities she can't control. It will require all of Conroy's hypnotic skills, and lots of audacity, luck, and barbecue sauce for him to save her.
If he fails, the girl could die.
Or she might simply hurl everyone into the sun!
