A sharp, uncomfortable satire that veers into raw, painful drama, balancing cringe comedy with a harrowing look at addiction and trauma.

Overview: A plucky dishwasher leaps to viral superstardom at a trendy food content creation company.

About: Identity, addiction, trauma, friendship
Content: Strong language. Mild violence, gore and sexual content.
