Plot Synopsis

Created by David Turko, FAKES is a half-hour dramedy series that follows teenage best friends Zoe and Becca, who set out to build their own fake ID empire, but when business starts booming, their life of crime gets way too real. They move into a downtown penthouse, have more cash than they know what to do with, and then get raided by the feds. One of them goes to jail, the other doesn't. This is the story of their ultimate betrayal, told through each of their POVs with regular fourth wall breaks. This is a dramedy with two unreliable narrators who are both competing for the last word. The series opens with Becca being impressed by Zoe's fake ID and asking for one of her own --- setting in motion the criminal events that follow. At least that's how Zoe remembers it. Then, Becca shares her side of the story, recalling how their fake ID business got started -- and how it was all Zoe's idea. Next, Zoe and Becca scramble to produce hundreds of fake IDs in a short amount of time, but as the clock winds down, problems -- and threats -- arise. The entire 10-episode first season of FAKES dropped on Friday, September 2, 2022 on Netflix.
