Synopsis

After losing their job at a tech startup, Jamie Gray stumbles into an unlikely new gig: working for an organization that travels to an alternate Earth to study building-sized monsters. Part workplace comedy, part interdimensional adventure, the story follows Jamie as they discover that protecting kaiju is harder — and more dangerous — than anyone let on.
