What is Sweet Tooth about?

Sweet Tooth is an American fantasy drama TV series that unfolds in a dystopian world ravaged by a deadly pandemic, which has led to the near-extinction of humans and given rise to the birth of hybrid children possessing animal traits. The narrative centers on Gus, a young hybrid with deer-like features, who, following the loss of his father, embarks on a treacherous adventure to discover his origins and find a place to call home.
