Ekon is a nerd with a superpower – he knows real people lie behind government stats. He starts work at a secret government department (Skunkworks) and discovers the nerds are taking over, but they’re so fixated on the numbers, they can’t see the harm they’re causing.

SYNOPSIS:

Set in the rear of a sex shop in Soho, London. An off-grid, non-departmental, unaccountable, group of freaks, weirdo's and data scientists working on the fringes of law and ethics to improve the effectiveness and efficiencies of government.

Ekon has to delay his girlfriend from wanting to move out of London because every week he has to defend the country against the worse instincts of his new colleagues which seems to be 'turn all citizens into compliant automatons'.

(Longlisted for the 2021 TV Sitcom Writing Competition run by Short Com).
