Four broke roommates find a machine in the missing roommate's closet that renders imagination like television. The rent is due, their friend is a prisoner in his own mind, and the rescue runs through every world they ever daydreamed.
Dani drives for Dank Bros. Weed Delivery and daydreams in widescreen. Ali assists the world's most insufferable movie star and dreams in kebab. Nick runs the last video store on earth and thinks in film grammar. Their fourth roommate, Kris, hasn't been seen in weeks, and he owes exactly $987.52 in rent.
Breaking into his room for the money, they find a jungle in his closet, a laboratory behind it, and the Subconscious Simulator: a machine that renders your inner world and lets your friends walk around inside it. Dani's mind is a fantasy kingdom run by her childhood imaginary friends. Nick's is a city built out of cinema. Ali's is a golden ancient Persia that smells like home. And at the bottom of the machine, Kris is being held prisoner by the severed worst parts of himself.
It's a hangout comedy where the hangout is each other's heads, and every inner world tells the truth about its owner. The weapon is imagination. The stakes are the rent.

The Dankertons started in 2020 as a pitch package between three friends. It never stopped being written. Everything on this page, every character, every frame, was produced in-house under a locked, hand-directed art bible.
Founder of Stratos House AI. Built the production pipeline that made this entire package, from the locked art bible to every rendered frame on this page.
VP Branding at The Infusery. The show's comedy brain and brand keeper, and the reason every world already feels like a place you could sell a t-shirt from.
Writer trained at Vancouver Film School. Author of the pilot and season bible this package is built on, and the first to see it laid out like a streaming shelf.
The bible is locked. The pilot is scripted. The cast is designed. The next step is the right room: producing partners, directors, and voices who want to live in these worlds with us. Animated scenes are already in production.
