Synopsis:
Prada to Nada is a story of two super-rich siblings, Nora Dominguez-Ferris and Mary Dominguez, who are suddenly forced to face the harsh realities of life when their father suddenly dies of a heart attack at his birthday party. After their father’s death, they are left with nothing as Gabriel Dominguez, their stepbrother, reveals that they are bankrupt and all their wealth has been transferred to him. Gabriel, along with his wicked wife, Olivia, takes over their family mansion and forces Nora and Mary to live in the servants’ quarters, humiliating them in their own home.
Feeling embarrassed and stripped of their dignity, Nora and Mary move in with their aunt Aurelia Jimenez, who lives in a modest home in East Los Angeles with a group of fellow immigrants. Despite the overwhelming living conditions, Aunt Aurelia welcomes this family of two with open arms. She becomes their surrogate mother and even introduces them to her kind-hearted neighbor, Bruno.
As they try to come to grips with their new reality, Nora drops out of law school to find a job and support herself, Mary, and their aunt. She takes up a job that she found in a newspaper advertisement and meets a woman who has been unfairly fired from her cleaning job. Nora decides to fight for the woman’s rights and makes it her first case as a lawyer. In a twist of fate, Nora realizes that her employer is actually owned by her stepbrother, Edward.
Meanwhile, Mary becomes romantically involved with Rodrigo, a wealthy professor, seeing it as an opportunity to regain her family’s wealth. Mary, pretending to live in Beverly Hills, tricks Rodrigo into falling in love with her. But when Rodrigo discovers Mary’s lies and feelings of betrayal begin to emerge, Mary realizes that her plan may have backfired.
As Nora fights to protect her first case, she begins to uncover a web of deceit and corruption at her workplace. In contrast, Mary learns valuable life lessons as she navigates through her own romantic trials and tribulations. Together, the two sisters learn how to stand up for themselves, fight for what they believe in, and ultimately, find happiness and success on their own terms.
