Tim Travers, self-hating mad genius, is going to find out! Along the way he’ll piss off an international crime syndicate led by Royce (Danny Trejo), engage in a battle of wills with conspiracy theorist radio host James Bunratty (Joel McHale) and even attempt to squeeze in a date in with the dangerously unstable Delilah (Felicia Day). Tim will have to learn how to literally coexist with the worst parts of himself, before his own demons destroy him and the universe with it.
