A frenetic, surreal comedy that treats supernatural bureaucracy and monster integration as the setup for absurdist workplace humor and grotesque visual gags.

Social worker Mark Lilly helps new citizens—both human and "other"—begin the process of adapting to life in the Big Apple, but his coworkers, demonic bureaucrat Twayne, drunken wizard Leonard Powers, surly law enforcement head Frank Grimes & his girlfriend, Callie, don't make it easy.
