Overview
Trinh, a viral TikToker known for her romantic content, wakes up on a cold film set with a splitting headache and amnesia, only to discover the body of Yến—an actress and romantic rival suspected of having a shady connection with Khang, Trinh’s fiancé. Đại, a detective hired by Trinh to investigate the suspected affair, sneaks in to help but accidentally leaves fingerprints on the corpse and is caught red-handed by security. From that moment on, this mismatched duo faces a series of bizarre predicaments: fleeing from police hot on their heels and a lurking assassin, all while bickering fiercely as they try to solve the case. Amidst the chaos, they inadvertently expose a shocking showbiz secret.
