COMING SOON

Escaping Scam City tells the gripping true story of Micah and Ava, a young couple desperate for work in the wake of the COVID-19 economic fallout. When they come across a Facebook ad promising well-paid customer service jobs in Cambodia, they believe they’ve found a lifeline. But what begins as hope quickly spirals into horror.

Instead of entering an office building, they are taken to a heavily guarded compound. Their passports and phones are confiscated. The windows of their room are barred. Under constant threat of violence, torture, and psychological abuse, Micah and Ava are forced into the dark world of cybercrime—specifically, the rising scam known as “pig butchering.”

Each day, they must trick Western victims into falling in love and convince them to invest their savings in fake cryptocurrency schemes. Failure to meet their quotas means brutal consequences.

Micah and Ava’s story is a desperate fight for survival—and a chilling window into Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing criminal underworld.
