An impending hurricane may be the least of Uncle Louie's troubles. . .

Uncle Louie Marshall has long been the soul of the Tiki Goddess bar--home to the hilarious and irrepressible Hula Maidens and a beloved hub of the community. When a grizzled sea captain asks him to take care of a mysterious duffle bag, Louie agrees without a second thought. And the trouble begins.

Both the captain and his deck hand turn up dead. Soon the locals are up in arms, filled with tales of the curse of the Lost Tiki.

Louie will have to do more than concoct clever cocktails to fix the mess he's in.
