In 1995 Korea, a company-sponsored English class unites a trio of Korean “office ladies.” With smarts and determination above their lot in life, they uncover a scandal of Erin Brockovich proportions. But how will they overcome the institutionalized sexism, ageism, classism, greed, and apathy of their corporate employer to do the right thing?
