Zoe and Becca are two teenage girls who end up starting and running one of the biggest fake IDs empires in North America. On the surface, they are just your average run-of-the-mill teenagers who are trying to survive high school and make it to college. However, their lives take a different turn when they find out that they have the same birthday as one of Canada’s most famous celebrities, Zoe’s idol, Becca. As their friendship deepens, they realize that there is more to life than just going to school and living a normal life. They start to explore their true potential as people and start to make a name for themselves as one of Canada’s most famous fake ID empires.
Zoe and Becca are two very different people who have different goals in life. Zoe is into parties, has a boyfriend, and likes to dress up. Becca is more focused on school and has a much tighter relationship with her friends.
The fake library card is a story about someone who was curious and impressed by someone else’s fake ID.
Becca and Zoe quickly find success in their new business venture. They are able to make a lot of money and build a strong relationship with Tryst. He is very supportive of their venture and helps them get started.
The girls deliver their first order under immense pressure, and they are high school students. It is expectedly going to be hard juggling school, threats from a drug dealer, and the ongoing problems in their respective broken families. Miraculously, they narrowly manage the order and you would think given everything they have been through they would consider not doing it again. No, you guessed it all wrong they enjoyed the adrenaline rush of it all!
As the teenagers try to navigate their way out of a sticky situation, they quickly realize that things are not as they seem. They were naïve and thought that by bankrolling their business, they could get away with anything. However, the criminal underworld has other plans for them and soon they find themselves in over their heads. They must use all of their cunning and strength to survive and make it out alive.
Netflix’s new series, “The Crown” is a gripping crime drama that follows the story of the monarchy and its members. The show has a few comedic moments to offer the laughs and the cast did well in portraying their characters. The show chose a risky but intriguing format by narrating the episodes from a different character’s perspective. It alternates in each episode, allowing viewers to get the story from both main leads. It successfully creates “she said, she said” scenario that makes the viewer question who is the true instigator of the crime.
The show failed to explore Zoe’s situation in-depth with her alcoholic father and her mom’s denial that her son may be turning into an alcoholic. They touched only the surface of the trauma and based on what was portrayed it is understandable why Zoe is more grounded and the responsible one.
Becca’s situation is not as perfect as she may think. She has a comfortable life, but her mother and father are not very close. Becca also does not see her mom often and when she does, she feels like she is wasting her time. Her dad is present but they are more like strangers who live in the same house. I think Becca thought the fake ID business was a way to prove she is doing something with her life.
Tryst is a complex character with a hidden side. He is a dad who tries to provide for his daughter, but he is also struggling to make ends meet. He resorts to illegal activities in order to survive, and he may act indifferent towards the girls at first. However, in the end, he tried to protect them from Guy.
The show takes a dark turn that no one saw coming. Given the show is a teenage comedy-drama, the ending destroyed any hopes of redeeming its storyline. The show felt dragged during the first nine episodes and the ending felt rushed as a result. This show would have been better if it had only five episodes and did away with the irrelevant storylines. As it stands though, this one struggles above mediocrity.
