Elodie Yung in, The Cleaning Lady

The Cleaning Lady is the new hits series that everyone is buzzing about!

The Cleaning Lady is a drama that centers around Thony De La Rosa, ( Elodie Yung) formerly a Philippine medical doctor who is currently working and living in Las Vegas. Her reason for being in the US, on an expired visa, is her five-year-old son, Luca.

Luca has a rare and life-threatening medical disorder, for which he needs a cutting-edge bone marrow treatment, which is only available in Las Vegas. Until she gets treatment for her son, Thony makes a living, not as a trained doctor but as a cleaning service worker, alongside her sister in law, Fiona.

After Thony accidentally witnesses a serious crime and is discovered hiding by the perpetrator, Arman Morales, she's offered a job both as a cleaner and a doctor within their criminal organization that could pay well enough to help her son and her family. Crossing into a moral gray zone, Thony begins to live a double life, keeping secrets from her family, all the while cleaning up murder scenes and dodging the law.
