However, the team's efforts to find a suitable replacement fall flat, and in desperation, they turn to an unconventional group of performers to keep the show on the air. The new performers are a motley crew of individuals with various talents and quirks. There's the enigmatic and beautiful Luna, a talented magician with a penchant for mysterious illusions; Jamie, a struggling stand-up comedian determined to make his big break; and Edgar, a self-proclaimed 'professional mourner' who has honed his skills in paying condolence visits to grieving families.
