Dave stepped out of Bastrop Federal Prison and into the home of one Margueritte Johnson, aka the Old Lady. The Old Lady left behind her house and twenty-three cats, who need a caretaker. Dave will be that caretaker, or so he thinks, but there are others with an eye on the Johnson estate. Soon Dave is caught up in a whirlwind of anarchists, golddiggers, skateboard punks, lawyers, hackers and arsonists, a population of dropouts and misfits who will do anything to avoid doing anything.

Slam is a bright and acerbic depiction of the slacker culture of Texas, a testament to a lost and found generation.
