Four broke students take a high-paying gig to film themselves telling strange jokes in an abandoned town. But the jokes aren't funny—they're keys. Each punchline unlocks a new layer of madness, revealing a stage where reality itself is the gag. When one of them becomes the final punchline and vanishes into an impossible house, the survivors learn their mysterious employer wasn't filming a movie. She was casting a cosmic horror, and the show is far from over.
