Being a teenager is hard. There's high school, embarrassing families, and of course puberty. The feeling of fitting in is absolutely overwhelming and absorbing and can lead us to make some more than questionable decisions. Such is the case with the upcoming Netflix series, Fakes. And, in a trailer released today, we see exactly how far two teenagers are willing to go to be top dogs at their high school only to realize they've made a big and possibly serious mistake.
In the trailer, we are introduced to Zoe Christensen (Emilija Baranac) and Rebecca Li (Jennifer Tong), two childhood best friends who just finished the school year. Told through fourth-wall breaking asides, the duo share their rise to the top and inevitable fall to the bottom with viewers. In a side hustle that starts out just as a way to get some booze for next weekend's party, the two begin scanning fake IDs for themselves and several of their partners. When it becomes apparent that they could be living the high-roller life if they launch their business on a larger scale, the two set off on their new adventure, unaware of the dangerous personalities they will cross along the way. Things start to heat up when they realize the feds aren't the only ones about to break down their doors.
