Crisis Zone

In March 2020, a witch named Megg, a cat named Mogg, and their roommate Owl watch a report about the country entering lockdown due to COVID-19. While Megg worries whether this means a video game she’s preordered will be delayed and Mogg spirals with anxiety, Owl sets about sanitizing every surface in their home—a futile effort, due to the imminent arrival of Werewolf Jones and his two sons, followed by drug-dealing wizard Mike, and Booger, who’s a transgender bogeywoman. Soon, the cast of characters (all from Hanselmann’s long-running “Megg, Mogg, and Owl” series) find themselves careening through a series of drug-fueled misadventures that involve raging house fires, multiple hostage situations, attempted murders, pregnancy scares, gunfights with vengeful bunny rabbits, and infidelity. All the while, they reckon with civil unrest, identity politics, a presidential election, homeschooling, cancel culture, and sudden notoriety following the premiere of a reality series about their lives.
