Malcolm 'Mac' John Rebennack Jr., better known by his stage name Dr. John, was an American singer and songwriter. His music combined blues, pop, jazz, boogie-woogie, funk, and rock and roll. Active as a session musician from the late 1950s until his death, he gained a following in the late 1960s after the release of his album Gris-Gris and his appearance at the Bath Festival of Blues and Progressive Music. He typically performed a lively, theatrical stage show inspired by medicine shows, Mardi Gras costumes, and voodoo ceremonies. Rebennack recorded thirty studio albums and nine live albums, as well as contributing to thousands of other musicians' recordings. In 1973 he achieved a top-10 hit single with "Right Place, Wrong Time". The winner of six Grammy Awards, Rebennack was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by singer John Legend in March 2011. In May 2013, Rebennack received an honorary doctorate of fine arts from Tulane University.

So, the overall story as shortened as I can do: It really all starts back in Egypt in 18 AD, where Alexander and Joseph Morbi share the role of king. Joseph owns a puppy with a descriptive name (Puppy), but then one day when the sacrificer tries to execute Puppy, Puppy is accidentally sent forward in time and given these unique abilities: He can talk like a human. He can read minds. And he can see the future. So, he's been blasted into 2015, but wants to get back to 18, so teams up with a man named David Morbi and some other people to try and get him back, and creates a team which fronts as the Extra Secret Service Organisation (ESSO), and help people out and stop criminals to make that front believable. Eventually, the ESSO find a way to return Puppy to his rightful place, but then Puppy realises that he's actually much happier in 2015. So he stays there, and makes the front of the ESSO the reality of it. Unfortunately, the ESSO are not legally an organisation of the law, so they are thought of as vigilantes, resulting in the police wanting to catch them. That's just the backstory. It's developed a lot more since then.
