Short description

When looking for a gift for his kid, Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite) is introduced to the world of Grimdark. In that moment he starts down a journey that will take him all over the world and through interviews with prominent Grimdark authors, game developers, and dedicated fans, he delves into the themes that define the genre—all in an effort to find the man who started it all: John Blanche.
