The Dream Factory is the faceless corporate global franchise that writes, manufactures and distributes all of humanity's dreams, nightmares, hopes and desires. Their ill-advised new hire is the cheerfully accident-prone and self-involved slacker, Joz, possibly the last person in the world that should be given responsibility for the contents of other people's heads.

Joz's blundering mishaps not only bring him into conflict with his boss Paula, a force of nature whose exasperation at the chaos caused by her new recruit is matched only by her bafflement that such a moron can even exist; it also strains his relationship with his best friend Anna. One of the Dream Factory's most reliable (and anxious) employees, Anna wangled Joz his new position and is now horrified that her friend's behaviour jeopardises his job and her own reputation.
