'Twins Jonathon and Nickolas Milarum work for Qurkition galaxy's largest children's entertainment company, IAFE. They are its worst employees. They are also flat broke, supremely bored, and dislike children. Quite the trifecta considering their family owns the business in question - It's All for Effect.

'When a glitch in the IAFE booking system gives the brothers the chance to take on a profitable, though questionable, side-hustle - event managing the largest celebration that Zertian 11 has ever seen - they jump at the chance to clear their mountain of debt. The fact that the gig is to celebrate a ruthless criminal overlord's birth-cycle day, oh that, and his triumph over a rival mob family, is of minor concern as ethics had left that building long ago.

'Joined by their new apprentice, Berkely Bing-Beekeson, and their spaceship's gambling junkie computer, M011y, the brothers set out to seek their fame and fortune in the event entertainment business.
