Quick Synopsis
Jack Deebs, a cartoonist serving time for murder, creates an animated series called Cool World, featuring a seductive character named Holli Would. Unexpectedly, Holli pulls Jack into the animated Cool World, aiming to seduce him and cross over into reality. Frank Harris, a tough detective and the only other human in Cool World, warns Jack that humans (called Noids) must not engage with cartoons (called doodles). Despite this, Holli manages to take human form in Las Vegas, leading to a dangerous pursuit that threatens to destroy both the real world and Cool World.
Detailed Synopsis of Cool World
While incarcerated for murder, cartoonist Jack Deebs found escape by creating Cool World, a series featuring a voluptuous femme fatale named Holli Would. But the artist becomes a prisoner of his own fantasies when Holli transports Jack into Cool World with a scheme to seduce him and bring herself to life. Hard-boiled detective Frank Harris – the only other human in Cool World – cautions Jack with the law: Noids (humans) don't have sex with doodles (cartoons). However, flesh proves weaker than ink as Holli takes human form in Las Vegas, staring in a trans-universal chase that threatens the destruction of both worlds.
