Maryn, an overworked trainee solicitor, Milo, a reluctant job seeker who thinks the world’s against him and Jess, a struggling high school student, are not your typical friend group. However, every Thursday night, they meet at Dennis’s boardgame Café “Warboar” in an ongoing Dungeons & Dragons campaign to defeat The Nightmare King.

This game is an escape from the real world, where their fate can be decided by a lucky dice roll. Yet, real life has a nasty way of sticking its annoying little nose in, bringing their fantasy world to its knees when they least expect it.
