When last we heard of Jerry Russell he had just ended his employment with Bill Mucs in the story The Dance Teacher. What happens to Jerry Russell is chronicled in this sequel, A Bartender's Story. Welcome to The Stockyards Bar and Restaurant where the good and the bad mix together like anybody's favorite cocktail and, like any other respectable drinking establishment, the Stockyards has its regular clientele. The regulars at The Stockyard aren't any different, except that they also share a common love of community theatre, and occasionally will engage in some production that they all can reflect about afterwards at their favorite spot, The Stockyards. One of their members, fellow actor and part time playwright, William Dorn, has a moral dilemma to deal with. Allen Flesser, the man who molested William when he was nine, had been arrested on other sexual abuse charges and released due to lack of evidence. Flesser's transgressions left emotional scares on all of his victims and cost William years of therapy in an effort to put it all behind him, but his past had now come to haunt him. Faced with the injustice of these circumstances, William Dorn will concoct a solution that will put at risk the lives of every one of the regulars at The Stockyards as well as Jerry Russell and Ann Brill.
