Synopsis

edit

Mote (Jumpol Adulkittiporn) works the night shift at his aunt's hotel to earn money to pay off his mounting debts. His life takes an unexpected turn when he witnesses a violent dispute between Kat (Ployshompoo Supasap), a sex worker, and her pimp, Sun (Tanutchai Wijitvongtong). Bound by their shared financial struggles, Mote and Kat decide to team up to find a way out of their hopeless circumstances.

The pair decides to create a mobile app specifically for sex workers to help them gain independence and safety. To build the platform, they recruit Mote's friend, Doi (Thanawin Teeraphosukarn), to handle the programming. Together, they work against a tight six-month deadline for Mote to settle his debts, while Kat focuses on her dream of quitting the industry and relocating to Canada.[5]

However, their bid for a fresh start falters as they struggle to find investors for such a controversial project. Everything begins to unravel when Mote, Kat, and Doi become involved in a mysterious murder case, turning their new business into a life-or-death struggle against criminals and lies.[6]
