Plot Summary of Who is Bugs Potter?
"When teenager Adam Webb visits Toronto to play his flute in the high school band festival he never expects to share his hotel room with a rock music fanatic! David "Bugs" Potter is a gifted young drummer with a habit for putting on a fake mustache and sneaking out of his room after hours. As Adam tries keeping his roommate out of trouble, he finds himself accompanying Bugs on his nightly escapades to rock clubs where Bugs wrangles guest spots with his favorite bands. Amazingly, Bugs' performances thrill audiences and he unknowingly becomes a media sensation. But as Bugs' fame grows, Adam must keep his roommate safe from obsessive reporters, overzealous fans, and an irate movie starlet. "
Michael Jung, Resident Scholar
