Pilot
Three longtime friends - Victory, Nico, and Wendy - are challenged with keeping up with complicated business and personal lives. For Wendy, being a big shot film executive, a wife and a mother proves to be a heavy daily juggle. Victory, meanwhile, is struggling to revive her once top notch fashion career.

Luckily, they have each other for support along the ride.

Wendy enjoys the success of her company's most recent movie, but only for now.
