How far will you go to feed your ambitions?
Zarina, a prep cook at a fancy New Haven restaurant, is underpaid, overworked, and might as well be invisible. The only upside? She gets to take home leftover ingredients and whip up modern spins on the Bangladeshi dishes she grew up eatingтАФall while enjoying her second greatest passion, professional wrestling: namely, her hero Sierra Myst, the massively successful, high-flying heel whoтАЩs built like a superhero and is every bit as daring.
One night, Zarina posts about Sierra Myst, and the impossible happens: Sierra responds. Zarina is elated at the chance to become closer with her idol. At first, their friendship is everything sheтАЩs ever dreamed of. But as the weeks fly by, Zarina starts to feel more like SierraтАЩs unpaid personal assistant and relationship counselorтАФand her desire to make Sierra happy soon threatens everything sheтАЩs worked for.
