SYNOPSIS
With the dawn of the 21st Century, crime has taken on a new and dangerous face. The criminals of the Millennium-Generation are far more complex that those of the past. They are devious, dangerous and totally devoid of ethics and emotions. Who is this evil fraternity who have created chaos and stealthy pandemonium in Asia and the world? Who will save us from this cloak and dagger malevolence?
Enter ROUGE, a team of four sophisticated professionals, armed with good looks, musical talent and kick-ass martial arts skills. Working for The Organization and headquartered in Singapore, these multi-faceted women become part of a covert team with agents spanning the vast terrain of Asia. With missions as varied as technology retrieval, foiling biological warfare attempts, kidnappings and sabotage endeavors, Rouge soon discover a sinister menace, The Eternal Brotherhood; the most intricate counter-spy network in the world, with intentions on global domination.
Together with their operations handler cum band manager, Hong, these rock stars by day and undercover agents by night keep Asia safe from The Brotherhood, all in the name of peace, justice and freedom.
PREMISE
Ling, Thuy, Pamela and Pat are the best at what they do, but like you and me, are flawed personalities. Whether in combat boots or high heels, the ladies are ready to take on any mission or sell-out performance in total style. A general guide for the show is the unique formula combining high-octane action and plot twists with humor and wit.
The premise stems from the contrast between the duality of their existence; a famous pop group versus a covert spy unit; completing their mission whilst grappling with female dominance, competitive and individual urges, and issues of friendship, trust and teamwork. The stories have a strong narrative through-line, never resorting to situation or slapstick comedy, are witty, slick, pace-y, extreme, action-oriented and even the most seemingly fluffy missions are rooted in real threats and high stakes. End.
