A troupe of failed clowns and an intrepid reporter embark on a chaotic road trip of self-discovery after a mysterious solar event plunges the world into anarchy. When international clown master Jean DuCoque dies suddenly, Bobo (David Earl), a hobo clown who has hit rock bottom, Pepe (Fionn Foley), a talentless mime, and Funzo (Natalie Palamides), an inadvertently terrifying ‘street clown’, are thrown together at his funeral. After a mass brawl with some vengeful human statues earns them a night in jail, the group emerges to find a country that has descended into apocalyptic mayhem. Lugging DuCoque’s stiffening corpse, the unlikely heroes escape with The Great Alphonso (Ivan Kaye), a pompous ex-TV celebrity and Jenny Malone (Amy De Bhrún), an ambitious journalist, and venture cross-country in Bobo’s jalopy in search of answers.
