“My name is Blake Baccalieri. And that was the day that my life changed forever.”

76 Episodes | Comedy, Sitcom, Episodic Web Series

Blake Baccalieri is a teenage artist with a love of comic books. He has created an exciting new superhero character, but is having a hard time writing a story to place him in. An accident happens to him at a park one day, and to Blake’s horror, the video of it goes viral online, damaging what little “coolness” Blake thought he had. Together with his sister Bri, they go to a local café that is struggling to make ends meet. There they meet the barista Taylor, and the eccentric owners Mr. and Mrs. Kirby, who have a wide variety of hobbies and collectibles, including collecting and selling comic books. The Kirbys suggest Blake, Bri, and Taylor should work for them to renovate the café into a bookstore and hangout spot for the kids and teens in their town, and through that experience, Blake can gain the inspiration for his comic book…and learn some helpful life lessons along the way.
