 Sam and Max, the Freelance Police, get their first new case in a while when the Commisioner orders them to investigate multiple reports of malfeasance (Max s "second favorite feasance"). Seems the Soda Poppers, a trio of former child stars, are causing trouble in Sam and Max s neighborhood. But there s more than one washed-up television icon up to no good around here, as Sam and Max discover the Soda Poppers  old rival, Brady Culture, has brainwashed the trio into becoming pawns in an insidious mass hypnosis scheme. And the only thing standing in Brady Culture s way is the Freelance Police and their "esoteric brand of personalized criminal justice".
