The Season: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

A striving American is thrown headfirst into the world of superyachts, sun, and scandal over the Hong Kong boating season in this soapy delicious revenge thriller about the wealthy and the secrets they keep. Our story follows Coleen "Cola" Li, a summer associate for a prestigious financial firm, as her mentor introduces her to "The Season": six glorious weeks in the summer where the rich and fabulous host a series of extravagant events. During the opening party aboard a superyacht, Cola meets the important players in Hong Kong. All are beautiful. All are dangerous. All are keeping a secret. But Cola is as well. She's here to get vengeance for a past injustice, no matter the cost. Over six weeks, Cola must navigate the world of the 1%, as she infiltrates high society in their private boxes at the races, charity tables at boxing matches, murder mystery parties at amusement parks, as well as the seedier side of the rich. At the end, Cola faces a choice: do I destroy these people or become them?
