PROLOGUE:

Chase Young is a really swell guy. I mean, of course he sold his soul to a demon for a potion to keep him forever young and is very evil and all that, but he's really a nice fellow. Seriously!

Well, you know that forever-young-ness potion? It has one or two little "side effects" he didn't bargain for. It turns out, if you read the super-super-super fine print on the bottle, it says:

THE DEMON WHO SOLD YOU THIS CAN'T BE SUED FOR ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS: (These may or may not be triggered at random by caffeine) Itching, dandruff, bleeding, vomiting, drowsiness, diarrhea, dementia, loss of toenails and/or eyelashes, scorching, allergic reactions, or hyperactivity. If any loopholes are found, please talk to your lawyer. We'll get back to you in a few millenia.

Let's rewind that for a moment. Note the word "hyperactivity." Yeah, grin all you like, you know where this train wreck is going...
