Judd, un jóven deportista y popular, cree entenderlo todo. Es la estrella de su escuela, y está por encima de todos...pero de repente el mundo a su alrededor comienza a cambiar y no se detendrá. Sin ningún tipo de explicación todos se convierten en monstruos peludos...luego en bolas lanza gases...luego en lagartos neuróticos. Cada vez que Judd se duerme, se despierta en un mundo nuevo y más loco--un mundo lleno de adolescentes con poderes, otros con adolescentes asesinos, otro con gente pato, nudistas, más monstruos, y más. Es como un video juego muy retorcido sin razón o explicación. Las reglas no dejan de cambiar, y en lo único que puede confiar es en su dedo meñique parlanchín, quien tiene una actitud increíble. Juntos, Judd y Meñiquín (el dedo prefiere que lo llamen "Matadígitos") pelearán con todo a través de las locas realidades, tratando de encontrar la forma de volver a casa. ¿Pero qué pasará si volver a casa ya no es una opción?
