Insomnia is a half hour, single-camera dramedy series that follows the darkly, absurd, late night adventures of Nikhil Sharma (Vishaal Reddy, The Punisher, Bull), a struggling, Indian-American writer that can’t seem to get his life together, his best friend, Savan (Cheech Manohar, Mean Girls on Broadway), a type-A dental student who's charm constantly bails Nikhil out of trouble, Leela (Kuhoo Verma, The Big Sick), a scrappy Hillary Clinton wannabe who struggles to be taken seriously in a male dominant field, and Nikhil's aunt, Meera (Nandita Shenoy), a crafty polished woman, who's multiple sclerosis is causing her life to deteriorate. This is Nikhil's journey to find love, happiness, and his true identity. This is a story about growing up. And Failing. A lot.
