With their hugely successful "Le Mans" TT now behind them, thoughts turned to their next adventure and, inevitably, also to the topic of their own mortality.

They did it, and loved it so much, that now they’re heading back for item number two on the list - TT Races yet again!

But, despite this, they’ve once again secured the trusty services of Dave and Monty - the two most out of shape, yet passionate and dedicated, racers in the paddock - and they’re optimistically eyeing a top 10 finish.

Francis Foster—last of the liver-eaters, a 16th century warlock and all-around nasty piece of work—has developed an addiction to killing people. He's been doing it for 500 years or more, body-swapping left, right, and center when needs must, and starting a new serial killer's reign. But he bites off much more than he can chew when his soul-transference ritual goes wrong and he ends up in the body of a dachshund. Now that he's a dog, he can't say or do the things he needs to do to perform the magic to hijack someone else's body, and that's where Tommy comes into play.
