Each of these shorts uses their humor to tap into the humane aspects of everyday life. This series features dramatized scenarios to explore a mix of modern-day 1st world and interpersonal problems, ranging from the death of a best friend, to the annoying beep of a smoke detector, to struggling to get a bigger butt. 

Sam can't sleep. His bedroom is surrounded on all sides by chirping smoke alarms, the sign of a low battery. So he does what any bleary-eyed problem solver would do...he sets out on an odyssey to find the annoying chirp and in the process, learns about himself, his neighbors and his place in the world.
