About this show
A demonic possession pop-punk comedy musical about learning to value the family you have, rather than the ‘perfect’ one you want. When teenage daughter Lisa accidentally summons a demon that possesses her little brother, parents Carl and Hannah decide this demon might actually be better behaved than their hellion son, and let him stay a while. But when the demon's minion reveals to Lisa that they have only one moon cycle to get the demon out or lose their son forever, it's a mad dash to get this hellspawn exorcised!
