werkaholics

Lilian is Australia’s latest it-girl. Jillian is a struggling actor. Together, they thrive on clean-girl aesthetics and dreams of stardom. But when cultural zeitgeist icon Unmoi threatens Lilian’s Instagram empire, she finds herself on the brink of cancellation. With Jillian by her side, it’s them and manifestation versus the world—or so they think.

werkaholics by Vivian Nguyen is a bold exploration of influencer culture, intersectional feminism, and the unfiltered truths about our evolving relationship with money, whiteness, and liberation in 21st-century capitalism. A hyper-pop interrogation of modern conundrums, it’s an absurdist and comedic take on digital hysteria. 

As Lilian and Jillian navigate the ruthless demands of digital fame, mounting debt, and a shifting social landscape, they must decide what matters most: dreams of fame or your best friend?
