The series is about the titular character, [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname nicknamed Barley,]] as he attempts to make his way in the [[AfterTheEnd post-apocalyptic]] world of Aspen, Colorado. Templeton, who is twenty-four, is [[ThisLoserIsYou unemployed, has very few friends, and has generally awful luck,]] and yet he manages to, in the space of the first installment, and finally get himself a job. Unfortunately, that job turns out to be one of the most dangerous jobs in the land, and Templeton wonders just what he's gotten himself into.
