The newly formed Band With Rocks In takes the stage for the first time and unleashes a new kind of music upon the Disc. Susan finds that her new job is tougher than she thought.
The band expands its line-up, while Susan and the Faculty of the Unseen University (except for the Archchancellor) find themselves strangely drawn to the band and the new music. Death keeps trying to just forget.
The University's faculty goes crazy over the new music, the Archchancellor tries to study it, and the band's popularity spreads. Susan goes undercover to protect the band and warn Buddy of looming danger.
Susan is spellbound as the music tightens its hold on Buddy and the Archchancellor gets closer to an answer. the band takes its music on the road, and Susan follows closely behind.
Death's servant searches the Disc for his master, Susan searches for answers and the band parlays its ever-increasing fame into a chance to hold a massive free concert in Hide Park.
The concert takes place, shady dealings are underway and Death comes to his senses. A high-stakes chase ensues as the band races toward peril and Dead Man's Curve.
