## Plot

*Side Hustle* follows best friends, smart and sarcastic Lex and confident and tough Presley, as they devise a plan to make money when fireworks accidentally destroy a boat belonging to the dad of their quirky friend and neighbor, Munchy. Forced to come up with creative ways to earn money to pay for the damages, the best friends enlist the help of Presley’s tech-savvy younger brother, Fisher, to create an app called “Kid-DING!” to connect with people looking for help with small jobs. With Munchy’s bossy older brother Jaget making sure they keep up with the payments, the three friends must do any jobs that come their way–no matter how crazy they are.
