A high-energy, absurdist buddy comedy about a mutant superhero and the alien roommate literally living in his head, built on surreal premise and rapid-fire jokes.

Jim (The Head) is an animated mutant super-hero with an insanely large cranium. A freak encounter left him with a problem. A big one: he's got an alien named Roy living inside his oversized dome.
