The show follows a marijuana dealer known only as [[NoNameGiven The Guy]] as he delivers his product to a wide assortment of characters in [[BigAppleSauce New York City]]. He usually figures in no more than a few minutes of each episode, with the remainder depicting vignettes about the characters he's delivered to. Occasionally The Guy will [[ADayInTheLimelight get an episode where he's more in focus than his clients]] but the show still avoids developing his character on the same level as them.
