Maggie and Raymond just bombed their hostile workplace training seminar, and now their jobs hang by a thread. Their only shot at redemption? Putting aside their micro-aggressions long enough to attend the birthday party of Karl—the office techie they love to torment. But Karl isn’t just an ordinary punching bag. He’s either the only person on Earth who can save humanity from imminent destruction—or an evil genius who’s staged the evening to exact his revenge. What follows is an absurd farce where two people get stabbed, one suffers a heart attack, and another is tragically (yet hilariously) hit by a bus. Karl, The Magnificent poses the ultimate question: if we had to rebuild humanity with only four deeply flawed individuals, could we pull it off? Or are Homo sapiens nothing more than an evolutionary misstep—a grand, cosmic dud?
