Bianca and Faith are down on their luck. After another failed career change, Bianca needs money fast. Faith is desperate to impress her narcissistic manager, Shai, at One Life Wellness Centre. So when they get an invitation to join Soverra, a multi-level marketing scheme, the hapless roommates jump at the chance. One month later, the flat is full of Soverra essential oils and they’re in more debt than when they started. Penelope, their enigmatic Soverra mentor, suggests they throw a recruitment party and Bianca and Faith commit with zeal. But will Soverra provide them with a route to success, or threaten to derail their already chaotic millennial existence?
