The concept is basically a group of hot girl poker grinders who party, gamble and do all the things we've seen in recent poker documentaries seeing nerdy guys do the same thing.
Dong is looking for $5,000 to produce a 15-minute pilot episode, which will be cast and shot in Montreal using different actors.
In a parallel universe, the terrain of online poker is dominated by legions of young girls sitting in front of their computers. This is a story of four such "grinders" who spend all day on the internet scratching out a living by clicking buttons. They read forums. They get memes. And most important of all, they enjoy the personal freedom that their unique profession affords them. Their fast lives become a blur of degeneracy, booze, sex and the digital world.
However, "living the dream" has its downsides. The girls must deal with the mental anguish of losing large sums of money on a regular basis. Furthermore, the poker economy is shrinking and the games are getting tougher by the minute. Also, the necessity to stay in front of their computers for extended periods of time have degraded the girls' ability to function properly in a normal social atmosphere. Even their abundance of money and free time has not come with a sense of personal satisfaction and fulfillment.
