Tyler has a secret—Sunny, the imaginary friend he had when he was younger, hasn’t gone away. Not only that, she now acts as his butt-kicking character in his after-school D&D club, too. Whether it’s helping him deal with his rowdy cousin Luis or avoiding his arch nemesis Kelly at school, Sunny always has his back, often encouraging soft-spoken Tyler to be a little more…bold.
