'Having trouble with that pesky threat to civilisation? Diabolical masterminds getting you down? Relax and turn up the theme music. The agents at your local takeaway are already on it.
'In a secret facility located beneath the Burger Beserker takeaway, undercover operatives set aside thick shakes and fries to thwart assassin line-dancers, nefarious dating agency schemes, and cock-rockers gone (even more) wrong.
'Into this strange world wanders the even stranger Mercury, a hapless young man with an unusual and unwanted talent. The Burger team is tasked with discovering whether Mercury can help save the world as they know it or if that world needs saving from Mercury.
'Burger Force. The pop culture detective agency that rights social wrongs while serving up a tasty value meal'.
