Welcome to the world of Buds: an animated series about three lost individuals finding their way through a multi dimensional universe.
Ouf and Bah meet by chance while Ouf is trying to locate his sister Kyd. Bah agrees to help Ouf to search for his family and using a rift in time space reality Ouf and Bah are able to travel great distances between time and realities on their search for a place to belong. Bah is hiding the fact that he too is searching for his people and the truth of his origin while Ouf begins to suspect that the answers he and Kyd find at the end of the journey may not be as liberating as they would hope.
