About this show

In the cutthroat world of a 2000s fashion empire, a pair of red-hot shoes becomes the driving force behind a young girl’s dazzling yet dangerous decline. As she navigates regret born of temptation and uncontrollable power, the shoes cling to her with a pulse of their own, tightening as she weakens. Each strut thrusts her deeper into a labyrinth of vanity, manipulation and sacrifice. Her spirit soon shatters as she discovers that the only thing more frightening than the shoes themselves, are the price they demand...
