Emily (Plaza) lives from hand to mouth, barely paying off the interest on her student loans, unable to get a good job because of DUI and assault convictions on her criminal record. She has artistic ambitions and talent, but her only prospect of employment as an artist is her friend Liz (Echikunwoke), who works at a posh advertising agency and tends to overpromise. Seeing her financial troubles, her friend and food delivery coworker Javier (Bernardo Badillo) gives her a phone number. After an exchange of texts she joins a "dummy shopping" operation run by cousins Youcef and Khalil (Rossi and Avigdori), an entry into the dangerous world of credit card fraud.
