An adopted teen with an aptitude for animation navigates the nine circles of high school hell.

SYNOPSIS:

Ben Franklin put his finger on the only two universal experiences: death and taxes. But he only mentions two because high school hadn’t been invented yet. High school is Hell. For everyone.

In this TV-14 serialized dramedy for the literary minded, the High School senior, DANTE, experiences the nine levels of Hell along side his best friends, the chaotic PETRARCH and the together-in-every-way VIVIAN. Though they are regularly tackled by the foibles of puberty and teenage temptations, they just might survive with the help of their three guides. The significantly overqualified janitor with a PhD in Philosophy, DR. CHARON, the impassioned teacher, MR. VIRGIL, who is herding teens through their awkward years with literature, and Dante’s mom, BEATRICE.

Drawing on the images, characters, and themes of Dante’s Divine Comedy, the real pain, real pleasure, and real awkwardness of High School Hell fills the halls of Florence High School, in Suburbia, USA. At the heart of Dante, both the classic epic and this serialized drama, is the question that is on the minds of so many High School students. How do our choices change us into the person that we become?
