The storyline follows Jeff, an aspiring writer trying to make his mark in the cutthroat world of Hollywood. Jeff has the makings of an archetypal boy-next-door character, his personality punctuated with charm, wit, and a relatable struggle to chase his dreams. However, just as his journey unfolds, a somewhat bizarre twist of events catapults the story into the realm of science fiction. Jeff finds himself thrust into a post-apocalyptic world where Hollywood has fallen, and alien Overlords control Earth. The series exploits this imaginative plot in a satirical manner, contrasting the glamorous world of Hollywood with a dystopian future and alien domination.
Along with human characters, the show incorporates several animated beings to enrich the narrative. These characters take on various alien forms, some harmful and others benign. This integration of animation within a live-action setting gives the series its distinct personality, fueling the comedic undertone that runs throughout the entire storyline. The humor predominantly comes from the clever dialogue interspersed with sarcastic barbs and self-deprecating wit, underpinning the alien vs. human premise in a light-hearted manner.
