- Indebted to the mob, Bobby 'Boombats', an underachieving loser, hatches a half baked business venture to avoid moving back home with his suffocating Italian Mama, and his more successful, yet sexually conflicted older brother.
- BOOMBATS is a character driven web series, shot with eavesdropped naturalism, revolving around BOBBY 'Boombats' BATTALI. He's a bumbling but loveable black sheep of his deeply flawed but quirky family, living in Toronto's Little Italy. Tired of his crooked past, BOBBY decides it's time to turn his life around and prove his naysayers wrong, once and for all, but can he?
FUGGEDABOUDIT!! Bobby's an underachieving sad sack, whose broken heart is always in the right place... at the wrong time. He lost his wife, his dog and his money; a 'country music' hat trick. He pinballs from one crisis to the next, in a perpetual roller coaster ride, but the one constant that keeps him and his family from getting derailed is ... Love.
Love lost, unrequited love, puppy love, L-O-V-E, love.
Even though the cards are stacked against him, Bobby's no quitter. A chronic gambler, he refuses to let life's lemons get him down but try as he might to make lemonade, he's dealt another bum hand - Erectile Dysfunction. Recently separated, he tries his best to raise his teenage daughter GABBY, who's juggling her own issues.
Indebted to the mob "boss" MRS. SCROTA, a sexually repressed widow who makes Bobby "an offer he shouldn't refuse", Bobby pitches a quasi-legit, one-man business he calls, ODD JOB BOB. This newest, in a long line of hare-brained schemes, is naturally met with a cool reception.
LORENZO, his older, more successful brother is once again skeptical. But why should Bobby take his advice? After all, "Renzo' is just a career bachelor who still lives at home with their Mama, ('NONNA'). He's also the target of neighborhood gossip when it comes to his closeted sexuality.
Thank God for NONNA (Mama), a worrisome widow who believes everything is 'God's will' and her mantra to life's woes is always 'mangia'. With fingers in every pot, she's forever cooking something up... though not necessarily in the kitchen.
Will Bobby follow the straight and narrow and make something of himself? Can Nonna dish out love like her ravioli, without apron strings attached? Will Renzo finally quash those nasty rumours and listen to his heart?
Be a fly on the wall and follow Bobby, Nonna and Renzo on an unforgettable adventure, delicately sprinkled with SEX, MURDER and MAYHEM.
