Stars Shining O'er The Coast

Bae, a corporate drone trapped in the hamster wheel of the rat race, has been working in Cairns for a government firm. One day, Company HQ tells Bae to go to Brisbane - a twenty-plus hour drive - for a meeting that she doesn't want to go to. Just as Bae sets out for the highway, she nearly runs over a pedestrian - the newest talent of Hololive English: Irys.

Soon enough, the Nephilim idol stumbles towards the car and asks ifs he can hitch a ride to Brisbane!

And so began the greatest road trip of Bae's life along Australia's east coast. Will the chains of Bae's rigid corporate life keep their hold over her or will the Nephilim Idol soften her heart and give her Hope? Bae will find out soon enough - on this journey under the stars o'er the coast!
