The Indica Bookshop was a secret 1960s safe place for the justice-seeking, freedom-loving, world-wide scret organization known only as the Brotherhood of Endorsing Anonymous Transactions of Love, Equality, and Serenity, or the B. E. A. T. L. E. S, for short. The four lead members, whose names are guarded with utmost secrecy, used their undercover identity of a band to travel the world to help bring down the Man. Their safe place, finaced by their "bassist", code name The Cute One, helped organize followers and inspire new ideas for spreading their message]. Sadly, even this safe haven was infilterated, and the B. E. A. T. L. E. S. crushed.
