The events of the series unfold in the quiet town of Lytk Angeles, Massachusetts. Every gang has its rightful place here. Colombians smoke plantain, the Irish sip beer, and the Chinese eat noodles. But one day, evil Russian communists descend on Lytk-Angeles and bring sugar with them. They seize control of the production of nesting dolls (a traditional Yugoslav business) and plant the whole city on white powder.
