The story follows Alina, a fifty-year-old wardrobe stylist who leaves Ireland after a devastating personal tragedy to relocate to the fast-paced, high-intensity world of Seoul, South Korea.
She secures a behind-the-scenes position at Monolith Agency, a demanding entertainment conglomerate preparing to launch their flagship project: a flawless, seven-member luxury idol group named AEGIS. While the public sees a perfect image, Alina discovers the teenage boys are trapped in a restrictive environment of corporate negligence and strict tracking protocols. Stepping in to help them, Alina utilizes her unique styling craft to transform their high-fashion garments into metaphorical and structural shields.
