When Gloria took a waitressing job at a diner outside of Phoenix, she didn't realize she was now an employee of Midnight Burger, a time-traveling, dimension-spanning diner. Every day Midnight Burger appears somewhere new in the cosmos along with it's staff: a galactic drifter, a rogue theoretical physicist, a sentient old-timey radio, and some guy named Caspar. No one knows who built Midnight Burger or how it works, but when it appears there's always someone around who could really use a cup of coffee. "When the waves of the universe crash unrelentingly, when the stars seem indifferent to your plight, suddenly there is a diner." We open at 6.
Now jobless in the pandemic era, Gloria takes a job interview at a lonely diner outside of Phoenix. What could possibly go wrong?

It's Gloria's first official shift at everyone's favorite space, time, and dimension traversing diner and the staff finds themselves setting down on a dense, forested planet, teeming with life. I'm SURE everything on this planet is nice and benevolent. Right guys?... Guys?...
