It's open-mic night at Club Open-Mike, and it's not like any open-mic night you've ever seen. Romance, intrigue, sibling rivalry, songs, industrial espionage, affairs, (family and other), frenemies, ghosts, and a whole lot of comedy take the stage as Mike Junior emcees an evening some will want to remember forever and others will wish they could soundly forget.
