SUGAR
Our pilot follows Kika, a broke fashion school grad in New York City who’s hopped on the sugar daddy train. Unbeknownst to her, her sugar daddy is the owner of a Manhattan strip club. Her first date spirals into a behind the scenes look of the club’s employees, dancers, and customers shattering the stigmas around sex work.
