Her world shifts when she partners with Pinky, a social media star who lives for likes and brand deals. The two strike a risky alliance: BK supplies the fakes that keep them afloat, while Pinky hawks the product to her online audience. As debts press in from all sides, their collaboration becomes a test of nerve, loyalty, and timing. The show plays out against a backdrop of glossy social feeds and shadowy street markets, probing how far someone will go to protect their family, and what people are willing to hide to stay afloat.
