The far-from-ordinary suburban Smashenburn family lives in an alternate video game universe comprised of offbeat characters. Within this world of action heroes, monsters and cartoon characters inspired by popular video games, the Smashenburns find unconventional ways to survive everyday issues. The members of the Smashenburn family include Grand Prix driver Rip, covert agent Raquel, cynical teenager Alice and 13-year-old wannabe rapper Billy. The family's pet is 300-pound Turbo, a talking, cigar-smoking doglike creature who robs pawn shops.
