Asian Drama

Yu Na is a female influencer with morals as flexible as yoga positions, ready to throw her principles under a truck for a quick buck. By giving her followers exactly what they (think they) want, she’s built an empire based on likes, donations and juicy contracts for different brands. But being successful and filthy rich can get tiring sometimes.

So tonight, at yet another launch for a cosmetics brand, she knocks back a couple of vodka shots and heads home early. But when she wakes up, her bed is a little bit harder than usual, and the ceiling’s really low. And it’s dark. And it reeks of gasoline. It is a bit like the trunk of a car, actually. And when the car starts moving, her phone rings.

On the other end of the line, a charming stranger unravels the program of the night: Yu Na has until midnight to launch a live stream from the trunk of the car and raise a million in cash on her channel. If she fails to do so, she’ll end up on the wrong side of an industrial grinder. Unfortunately, her followers seem to take the whole thing for a bad-taste publicity stunt…
