It's the beginning of October, which means the holidays are upon us and the weather's going to be super sad soon. A group of four strangers suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) respond to a classified ad to put up a show that will cheer up the community and, hopefully, themselves. Nearly ten years after the spectacular becomes a massive success, the message is appropriated and what was once a wholesome, cathartic show to provide solidarity has been co-opted by the new generation as a harmful glamorization of mental illness. The four once-strangers must reunite and remount the show to remind the world what its message is all about.
