Synopsis Thirty years in the future Bart Simpson is going to die... that is, unless he undergoes radical transplant surgery. Bart's uncertain fate rests in the clouded memories of a not-so- long-forgotten Springfield, the generosity of an organ donor, and the love of his sister. Only Lisa can unlock the secret of Bart's shrouded past and solve the mystery. Her only clue: Bart's last conscious utterance? "Fish logs..." [per solicitation]
