Doing Time on Planet Earth is a character-driven dark comedy/off-beat mystery that's filled with snarky satire, dry wit, and absurd situations as three very different individuals find their lives intertwining in the strangest of ways.
Unable to find work, romantically challenged, and with only her "net buds," the anonymous members of her TV series fan discussion boards to turn to, Caddy is ready to call it quits. She has the gun her father gave her for protection, but there's one small problem: she has no idea how to use it.
Fiske, a private investigator who changed his identity from Hispanic to Londoner, complete with a fake British accent, notices Caddy's nervousness on the subway and confronts her as she's attempting to end her life.
Hope, an identity thief and embezzler who collects Loony Tunes action figures, is one of Caddy's net buds, a fellow obsessed fan of the wildly popular TV show Spywitch. She's also the subject of Fiske's current investigation.
