Jada Williams can size up anyone from across the Glendale mall. She knows their measurements and exactly what clothes will change their life. This talent once made her a wardrobe designer for Hollywood stars. Now she works retail for minimum wage plus commission. When Jada gets fired again, the Debt Police start hunting her down. She refuses to wait around for them to destroy her. Instead, she teams up with two other debt-trapped mall workers to fight back. The three women devise a heist that will wipe out their student loans and strike back at the system that made big promises before trying to crush them. Jada transforms from someone running scared into someone taking control of her fate.
