Shirley is a teenage boy with a girl's name, growing up in suburbia and feeling like the weirdest kid in the school. Nothing makes much sense to him, and his heart belongs to a classmate who barely knows he exists.

Wound Man is an unconventional superhero, sprung from the pages of a medieval medical textbook, with an alarming assortment of weapons sticking out from every part of his body.
Wound Man has just moved into a house on Shirley's street - and he happens to have a vacancy for a teenage sidekick...

‘A simple, unaffected piece of storytelling ... There is something so unguarded about this show that you can't help but fall in love with it.'
