Adapted from Jessica Pressler's New York Magazine article "The Hustlers at Scores," "Hustlers" follows a crew of New York City strippers who steal from their wealthy clients when the 2008 recession hits. Seasoned stripper Ramona Vega (Jennifer Lopez) takes newbie Destiny under her wing, showing her the ropes, her way around the pole, and the pockets of their Wall Street clientele. As their schemes get bigger and more lucrative, they get riskier, and it becomes not a matter of if they'll get caught but when. Palmer plays Mercedes, a member of the Vegas crime ring alongside a stellar cast, including Lili Reinhart, Lizzo, Julia Stiles, and Cardi B.
