DimWitts: The Big Stupid is the story of Charlie Witt, a hapless produce clerk who discovers a deep, dark, and incredibly stupid superpower: the dim. His brother, Michael, appears to be the source when everyone who interacts with him gets noticeably stupider. Stuck in a dirty old smelter town (with dirty old secrets), Charlie longs to escape.

The newly-elected American president, Lancaster G. Dirk, has a very different plan in mind for the small city of Valley, however. In a mad rush for power, he annexes the city, and the local smelter, enhancing his military might to “Make America First Again”. The Canadian parliament, prorogued by a rogue prime minister, struggles to mount a defense.

King George VII plots a daring twist by convincing the British parliament to request Royal Assent on a bill asking him to assume control of the former colony and their military defense. With the help of his prime minister, his Canadian governor general (and his lucky green bunnyhug), he embarks on a personal mission to stop the American incursion cold.

As the occupation continues, Charlie Witt – self-proclaimed lifetime loser – decides he must attempt to bend this sickening power to his will and use it to force the Americans to surrender. He takes the first chance he gets: a world-wide livestreamed speech by the American colonel leading the invasion. Little does he know the incredible power of stupid he wields can reach out insipid fingers into digital space – and beyond ….

The tale spans the globe – and the realms of imagination – as the dankly mysterious dim reveals its true source, its true nature, and ultimately, its true power. Will Charlie master the elusive and sickening energy, or will it force all life – and death – into a crisis that can only be called: The Big Stupid?
