James Wongvideo game extraordinaire and unrelenting prankster, went back to his hometown to attend a high school friends funeral. While there, due to a case of mistaken identity, he was asked to serve as the towns temporary doctor.

In the end, Wong is being hunted by both the towns overzealous sheriff, and the ruthless terrorist, Antar Hannan. The seemingly benign hoax is now crashing down on Wong.
