Between sexual and romantic dating app adventures, Ulysses grows increasingly troubled as foreboding premonitory dreams make him wonder if some kind of dark and monstrous conspiracy going on, or is he just smoking too much weed?

The series stars Avan Jogia, Kelli Berglund, Beau Mirchoff and Roxane Mesquida.
