Description
The web series tells the saga of a very unlikely reality star, Scott Drizhal (Jonathan Nail), who is sent to Mars as part of a reality series created by mega-producer, Jack Spratt (Jay Caputo). 36 days into the launch, the show is canceled. Scott is now stranded in space with only the ship's smart-ass computer, PHAL9000 (Jason Burns), to keep him company. His wife, Rebecca Drizhal (Michele Boyd), declares Scott legally dead while Jack's hubris lands him and show into Japanese mafia infested waters.

| GBC Network Exec, Tripp Steves, bullies Scott into believing he will be home soon. Meanwhile, Scott's wife, Becks, deciphers enough of the geek-speak from Ratish and Gerry to learn that her idiot of a husband is stuck in space until his ship makes the round-trip journey to Mars and back. Jack's dirty little secret surfaces when the Yakuza unexpectedly makes a "business call". | |||||
| 1.3 | "Good Grief" | Allison Vanore | Jonathan Nail | 5:36 | |

Making personal, desperate calls to the President of the United States and wallowing in his own depression, one might assume he is falling deeper into his own form of space madness.
