As they venture naively into the bustling metropolis of Kuala Lumpur with their modest skills and a casual disregard for the power of modern technology and social media's potential exploitation, they hold onto dreams of becoming overnight stars.
The film addresses pressing social issues such as child abuse, urban poverty, the plight of neglected seniors, disregarded families, and common workplace injustices like underpayment and exploitation of talented individuals.
