Alone, struggling, and scammed, two young women from Latin America find more than they bargained for in one another while pursuing their dreams in New York City.
Lia (33), a Colombian actress and single mother, decides to risk everything for her dreams and emigrate to New York in search of a better future for herself and her daughter, whom she must leave in the care of her mother in Colombia. Lia is scammed by a fake talent agency, which leaves her penniless and forces her to move into a dark basement with Juana, whose own story is strikingly similar to Lia’s.Between love and hate, they fight to fulfill their dreams, building an intense relationship that will be their greatest victory.
