Dan Amsenlock

Dan is the protagonist of the show. He is a 19 year old high school student working as the local bookstore's clerk. His life is very stressful and graduation, applying to college(s), his complicated family background and being antisocial does not help with that. Fortunately his friend David offers him some of his anxiety medication to relieve the stress.

Unfortunately, Dan quickly becomes addicted to the drug and starts to experience withdrawal, dependency. His life spiral out of control very fast with his personality and personal relationships getting worse every second.

He starts as a sarcastic, honest but also thoughtful and helpful guy and ends up as a total wreck, lashing out at people, becoming absolutely miserably and an intolerable jerk.
