Production notes

In the murky alleyways of New York City, homeless Maxx huddles in his box and dreams of crushing evil villains. But when he bursts into the colorful netherworld of the Outback, the Maxx is a hero, in full purple splendor. His friend Julie, a freelance social worker, thinks the Maxx's alternate universe is just an escape from the harsh reality of New York- not realizing that she, too, roams the Outback as the Jungle Queen.

Join the Maxx for deliciously demonic adventures in both worlds as he scours streets and jungles in search of the link between his two realities. Will he be able to find the connection before it's too late?
