When Ashtray moves to South Central L.A. to live with his father (who appears to be the same age he is) and grandmother (who likes to talk tough and smoke reefer), he falls in with his gang-banging cousin Loc Dog, who along with the requisite pistols and Uzi carries a thermo-nuclear warhead for self-defense. Will Ashtray be able to keep living the straight life?

This is a riotous, no-holds-barred send-up of 90s urban dramas, bursting with irreverent humor and a frenetic energy. It's a witty, often absurd, satirical take on cultural tropes, delivering rapid-fire gags and memorable one-liners. Expect a hilariously exaggerated world that's both sharp and incredibly silly.
