Chasers

Sophia, a young musician, arrives at an LA house party full of struggling twenty-somethings. She’s eager to ask her crush, Jacob, to be her date to her sister’s wedding, but his hot-and-cold behavior leaves her confused. As she confides in her distracted friends—each caught up in their own dramas—a deeper truth about their lives starts to surface. Through flashy dialogue, a flashback, and a literal flash mob, the Chasers pilot dives into the world of ambitious urban creatives, exploring the fine line between drive and exploitation, and the lies we tell ourselves to keep moving forward.
