It follows adventurer Laios and his friends, Marcille and Chilchuck, as they descend into the depths of a mysterious, seemingly endless dungeon, in hope of finding his late sister. Along the way, the trio are forced to fight dragons, risk starvation, and resist dark forces, as they investigate whether there’s any truth to the rumor that defeating the wizard at the prison’s heart will win the victors' with unimaginable treasure.
The pilot, titled Hot Pot/Tart, sees the group get beaten down by the beast that’s just chowed down Laios' sister, Falin. In an attempt to rescue her, the threesome munch their way through the lock-up, hunting and cooking edible monsters to sustain them as they descend further and further without supplies – and it’s going down a treat with subscribers.
