Evil Monkey Man! Chapter One

The peaceful serenity of New York suburb Cold Spring Harbor is jolted with an inexplicable explosion. As firefighters race into battle there are now reports of some sort of talking ape-man running around town.

It's a mind-altering, time-traveling, reality-bending, criss-cross quest across America in a search for a way to become human once again.

Join Mike, the monkey man, Lina, the Kung-Fu chick, Manny, the mute midget, Menke Moon, the mad scientist, and Doc, the crusty Navy Corpsman, as they find their way to here there and everywhere, all while being pursued by some shady federal agents.

It's all fun and games - until someone gets turned into a monkey!
