The Plot: A Fitness Star’s Fiery End
In SLAY, health and wellness influencer Zach Zamora (Derrick Monasterio) isn’t just famous for his workout routines—he’s also infamous for his tangled love life. But when he dies tragically in a locked gym during a live stream, the police find no shortage of suspects. Enter Liv (Julie Anne San Jose), Zach’s girlfriend, who’s haunted by memories of their explosive fights over his cheating. Then there’s Amelie (Gabbi Garcia), Sugar (Mikee Quintos), and Yana (Ysabel Ortega)—three women with motives as fiery as the flames that killed Zach.
Each episode peels back layers of secrets, revealing how these “pretty girls with ugly pasts” might be connected to the murder. Was it revenge? Jealousy? Or something darker? With investigator Juro (Royce Cabrera) digging into their alibis, trust becomes as fragile as glass.
