Nirvana is a dramedy centered on Dave the Rave, an eccentric aerobics instructor and aging raver who lands an unlikely teaching gig at a suburban private primary boarding school. While teaching fitness, Dave weaves in life lessons from the raver ethos of peace, love, unity, and respect (PLUR)—values he's carried with him through years of underground parties and glowstick-lit nights. His unconventional approach initially captivates the children, but when their conservative parents discover his unorthodox methods, they accuse him of promoting a drug-fueled culture. Faced with backlash, Dave must defend his intentions and prove the depth of his values. During a pivotal parent-teacher meeting, Dave challenges the parents in an unexpected way, forcing them to confront their own prejudices and radically rethink their lives.
