I Did Something Bad

Khin Hlaing is not just a successful journalist, she's also an early-thirties divorcee looking to win a break-up. So when she's assigned by Vogue to get a scoop on Tyler Tun, Hollywood's hottest movie star who has returned to Myanmar to shoot a film, she can't believe her luck. The rumour at the top of the food chain is that Tyler's gearing up for something big: he's reading fewer scripts and turning down big modelling contracts. Is he getting married. Is he pivoting to become a pop star. Has the studio behind Bond secured him. If Khin's able to get an explosive exclusive, there may well be a permanent position waiting for her at Vogue Singapore. That'd show her ex-husband Chris how far she's come. But Tyler Tun has done his very best to keep his private life private, and he doesn't show any sign of letting down his walls for Khin. She spends long days on set, and accompanies him to poker-faced dinners, but she gets nowhere. But one night on set, a strange man follows Khin into the surrounding park grounds. When he threatens her, Tyler steps in and things escalate fast. Khin knows they can't go to the police - killing a white man, as a brown woman, is never going to be overlooked, even if it was self defence. And when she learns that this man seems to have targeted her specifically, she's determined to use her journalism skills to find out why. As Khin and Tyler work together to hide their secret and find out more about her attacker, they grow closer and Tyler finally starts opening up. The job at Vogue suddenly looks more promising, but Khin can't help feel a twang of uncomfortable morality-related guilt. Before long, everything hangs in the balance. Will they get away with murder. Can Khin get the exposé she needs for her dream job. And is she willing to risk Tyler's trust in the process.
