Complete TV pilot (series in progress).
When forty-four year-old James Benson discovers that his thirteen year-old daughter, April, is deeply invested in an online furry community, he's horrified that his kid is one of the weirdos the moms always gossiped about at school pickup. But as he digs deeper, he finds himself connecting to some of the stuff he's seeing...these "fursonas" remind him of the wolf character he used to play as a kid, and he's always had dreams of the great outdoors. As he delves deeper into furry culture, James realizes that he's a businessman-by-day, furry-by-night. Both James and April must navigate the difficulties of being "different" while attempting to maintain a normal family dynamic, until they find out together that being different (even if that means being a furry) doesn't mean you're any less deserving of community or love.
