Iris and her mother live in the magical land of Nocturno, a world in which all things seen by day are made by the inhabitants at night. The sun is raised, flowers are painted, clouds are filled with rain and leaves are put back on branches. Memories do not reside in people’s minds but are woven into their “past coats.” Through a series of events, Iris finds herself in a strange place without her coat, left only with a button that has fallen off. With clues from this button and help from some friends, Iris goes on a journey to reclaim her memory and find her home.

The cast consists of Madison Kearney and Jenny Karger as Iris and her mother, Brian White as Mr. Matternot, Leanne Moninger and Joe Villegas as The Goods, and Liz Radcliffe and Hayley Sleek as Mozart and Annabel Lee. Joining them are Tim Breiner, Abby Castelucci, Rebecca DiScipio, Vanessa Fletcher, Peter Gonzalez, Tristan Miller, Haakon Moninger, Marek and Stella Powers, Lois Speelman, and Seth Tackett.
