Synopsis:

In a contemporary nation governed by the authoritarian "Good for You" party, a sweeping ban on chocolate and other pleasurable foods has profoundly altered daily life. The story follows Huntly and Smudger, two friends deeply affected by this prohibition, whose usual haunts – particularly Ms. Bubby's sweets shop – have fallen into decline. Intrigued by rumors of a clandestine operation, they are drawn into a world of illicit chocolate distribution, navigating hidden locations and uncovering cryptic messages related to the black market's origins.

Their initial joy at rediscovering chocolate is shattered when a friend is apprehended by the Chocolate Police, prompting Huntly, Smudger, and their companion Louise to launch their own counter-operation. The narrative explores themes of freedom, rebellion against oppressive authority, and the simple pleasures lost under restrictive policies. The series emphasizes camaraderie and ingenuity as the protagonists strive to restore a sense of joy and normalcy to their world.
