Alexandria, a talented fashion designer of Chinese-Caribbean descent, never imagined herself stepping into the chaotic world of K-pop. But when her best friend, Jenny, lands a job as a rookie idol manager and gets stuck with an overlooked, underfunded, and nearly hopeless boy group-ZeeRow Vibes-she turns to Alexandria in desperation.
With the odds stacked against them, Alexandria makes a bold claim: with the right styling, training, and carefully crafted fan appeal, anyone can become a star. She bets Jenny that in one year, she can turn ZeeRow Vibes into a chart-topping sensation.
What starts as a simple offer to help quickly turns into an all-consuming mission. Armed with her industry knowledge, sharp instincts, and an unshakable belief in reinvention, Alexandria dives headfirst into the challenge. From styling makeovers to grueling training regimens, social media strategies to fan engagement tactics-every move is calculated to build their popularity. But the K-pop industry is ruthless, and success isn't just about talent and image. Scandals, rivalries, corporate sabotage, and the pressures of fame threaten to tear the group apart before they even reach their first hit.
With only two years to make them stars before the company pulls the plug, Alexandria and Jenny must navigate the fine line between authenticity and manufactured perfection. But as the girls becomes more invested in the group's journey, they start to wonder-how far are they willing to go to turn dreams into reality? And in an industry built on illusions, can true artistry and real emotions still shine through?
