Synopsis

Set in a world populated by anthropomorphic nesting dolls, the series focuses how national political issues interact with the dysfunctional citizens of a town named Fairview, a town of idiotic party people who are willing to urinate in public and fight in car park lots. Overseeing this is Kelly Sampson, a former party girl turned mayor (who is not the smartest person in the book), and her fellow incompetent political figures and their families.
