Set against the backdrop of the vibrant yet turbulent 1990s, "No One Will Miss Us" unfolds the hilariously chaotic lives of five misfit high school students who embark on a unique yet illicit venture—selling homework and assignments to their overwhelmed classmates. At the heart of this operation are Axel Madrazo as Memo, the clever mastermind who thrives in the shadows, and Nicolás Haza as Alex, the reluctant participant who is drawn deeper into this web of academic dishonesty. The unassuming gang of nerds revels in unexpected popularity, enjoying the perks that come with their newfound status, all the while keeping their lucrative secret hidden from both faculty and peers, thanks to their carefully crafted personas.
As the stakes grow higher, their illegal business blossoms into a mini-empire of sorts, providing not just cash, but a sense of belonging and camaraderie among the group. However, navigating the twisted corridors of adolescent life proves to be a double-edged sword. The intertwining dynamics of friendship, competitiveness, and teenage romance come to the forefront as they deal with the hormonal fluctuations of high school life. Yet, just as they begin to feel invincible, an unexpected tragedy strikes that could obliterate the fragile foundation they have built. The sudden death of a key player sends shockwaves through their tight-knit group, bringing into question the perception of their actions and the morality of their choices.
As the gang grapples with grief and guilt, the future of their business—and their friendships—hangs in the balance. The lighthearted premise unravels a deeper narrative about the pressures of adolescence, the desire for acceptance, and the moral dilemmas faced in the pursuit of success at a young age. With tensions rising and loyalty being tested, "No One Will Miss Us" compellingly portrays how quickly the high school social ladder can shift, turning friends into foes, and ultimately questioning whether the risks they took were worth the rewards. Will Memo, Alex, and their crew manage to rise above the fallout, or will the pressures of life drive them apart forever?
