In Season 1, Leya (Evin Ahmad), a single mother of Middle Eastern ancestry, is desperate for startup funding for an artificial intelligence firm she founded. Leya, like many others in the mostly immigrant housing developments where she resides, has few alternatives. She believes her only option is to borrow money from her drug-dealing brother-in-law Ravy (Dada Fungula Bozela), which jeopardises her future when he becomes a partner in her company.[4]
Season 2 takes place one year later. Leya is pushing her startup towards a public offering while Ravy battles a ruthless new competitor for control of the drug trade. Leya's connections with the underworld continue to threaten her successful business career.[5]
