In the mean time, their demanding boss, Mr. D (Jody Abrahams) has his own hidden agendas. Is he just an innocent bystander or is there a Dark secret?

The World Cup Opening Ceremony audition is Yussie’s last and Roddi’s first chance for bigger things aka ’The Big Time’ aka Screaming Female Fans aka SHOWBIZ.
