A high-energy ensemble drama about aging female hip-hop legends attempting a comeback, balancing nostalgia and reinvention with the friction of reunited friendships.

Estranged and out-of-touch, four women in their 40s reunite for a chance to recapture their fame and regain the swagger they had as the Nasty Bitches—their ‘90s group that made them legends in the hip-hop world.
