Plot Synopsis

Timmy Yoon is an analog dreamer in a 5G world. He's spent his entire adult life dedicated to his first love, movies -- a passion that's kept him at his first and only job, managing his hometown Blockbuster Video. Then Timmy is alarmed to learn that his store is officially the last Blockbuster in America. He now has no choice but to take action to stay open and keep his friends employed. Timmy and his staff quickly come to realize that being home to the last Blockbuster might actually be exactly what their community needs to rekindle the human connections they lost to the digital age. It also unexpectedly reunites him with his long-time crush Eliza, a dedicated mother whose marriage to her high school sweetheart is on the rocks. She left Harvard after one semester to start a family and now works at Blockbuster alongside Timmy as his trusty number two...and maybe more. Will this battle to preserve the past be the push Timmy needs to step into the present? His employees can only hope so. Timmy and Eliza are joined by:

Connie Serrano: She works at Blockbuster to make friends, not money. She's the unintentionally blunt mother figure to not just the employees, but many of the Blockbuster regulars.

Carlos Herrera: As a first-generation son of immigrants, he learned English by watching movies, and they quickly became his love language. He dreams of being a filmmaker, but can't help but feel like he owes it to his parents to live the American life they planned for him.

Hannah Hadman: She's genuinely sweet, a little naive, yet undeniably charming. She lost her mom at a young age but is surrounded by family at Blockbuster. Financially savvy to a fault, the staff is helping her learn the importance of self-care.

Percy Scott: As the strip mall and party store owner, Percy sees himself as "the man with the plan." He's the fast-talking, stylish, over-confident other half of the best friend duo of Timmy and Percy, who can't seem to stay away from Blockbuster, especially with his daughter working there.

Kayla Scott: Kayla is Percy's smart and sometimes scary teen daughter. She's not super open to the idea of taking orders from anyone, which can make her working at Blockbuster complicated for Timmy.
