Television Damage

It's been years since the last season of Total Drama wrapped, for them at least. The cameras were no longer in their faces, their worlds mostly silent besides occasional recognition, and the world moved on(for the most part). But for the former contestants who grew up on screen, the game never really ended.

Now in their twenties, the cast of Total Drama has traded elimination ceremonies for exams, and alliances for adult relationships. Scattered across different colleges and cities, they're all trying to make sense of the same question - who are they when the spotlight's gone?

For some, like Gwen and Courtney, college is a second chance to rebuild what fame once fractured. For others, like Duncan and Heather, it's a struggle to outgrow the person the world decided they couldn't change from. Old rivalries quietly smolder beneath awkward reunions and chat requests, and new connections form in the strangest places - between people who once couldn't stand each other.

But fame has a long shadow. The show that made them household names also left scars: broken trust, identity crises, and the haunting fear that they peaked as teenagers. When a documentary crew invites them all for a "Five Years Later" special, everyone has to finally confront what they've been running from - and each other.
