Taking place after the events of Monsters, Inc., a monster named Tylor Tuskman recently graduated from Monsters University and was recently hired into Monsters, Inc as one of their Top Scarers. However, he learns that Monsters, Inc. relies on laugh power to get their energy and are now hiring Jokesters. He gets transferred over to the Monsters, Inc. Facilities Team (MIFT) where he meets a bunch of colorful characters such as his old college acquaintance named Val, a serious, yet sarcastic worker named Cutter, Duncan, the grumpy monster who wants to be the manager of MIFT, and Fritz, the lovable, supporting, and caring manager of MIFT. Tylor doesn\'t want to be a part of MIFT and instead is getting training from Mike to be a jokester. Meanwhile, Mike and Sulley are the CEOs of Monsters, Inc. and are going through ups and downs of running the company.
