A young woman, feeling directionless, stumbles upon a mysterious courtyard where she is transported into a sitcom-like universe, becoming a major character on the TV show.
When a directionless cartoonist lands in a sitcom universe, she gets to choose between her oddly perfect sit-com life and her meaningful, flawed reality.
