Summary: Take New York City, add every horrifying beast, science-fiction freak, and fantasy faerie, shake thoroughly, and you've got UGLY AMERICANS. This animated horror-comedy series follows one Mark Lilly, social worker at the Department of Integration, as he helps new citizens both human and "other" adapt to hectic life in the Big Apple.
There are easier tasks than weaning vampires off of blood, socializing land-whales, and housebreaking werewolves, but Mark is up to the challenge. Between his stressful job, a zombie roommate, and a demon ex-girlfriend, Mark's lucky if he can sneak in a few minutes of sleep. But who can sleep when there's a drop-dead gorgeous Mermaid sitting at the bar?
After being bitten by a rabid Bat-Boy, Mark becomes a masked crimefighter; Mark wages war against New York's criminals and their catlike leader with the help of his loyal sidekick, Koala Man.
Mark becomes conflicted about his relationship with Callie. He does his best to be understanding, but their love is soon put to the test when they are asked to embark on a dangerous mission to the fabled underwater city of Atlantis.
In honor of Twayne's 10-year anniversary of running the D.O.I., Callie and the crew throw him a Roast. But when Mark's attempt at edgy humor goes too far, Twayne quits, leaving Mark in charge. Before his first day as boss is up, Mark makes a management mistake so catastrophic that it almost destroys New York City.
With the big company intramural football game around the corner, everyone starts getting nervous about the lineup -- Mark is a wonderful team player, but a terrible actual player. When Randall demonstrates the power of his recently replaced arm, he is given a job at the D.O.I. as the team's ringer.
Randall feels neglected; Grimes mummy returns.
