Forbidden Fruits tells the story of Pumpkin, Lola Tung, who ingratiates herself into becoming an employee at Free Eden, a mall clothing store for women and currently staffed by Lili Reinhardt as Apple, Victoria Pedretti as Cherry, and Alexandra Shipp as Fig. She is inducted into Paradise, a witch femme cult led by Apple. Over the course of the various fashion seasons, Pumpkin learns more about Apple, about a former employee Pickle, played by Emma Chamberlain, and discovers Apple's talk about being all about women supporting women may be one big lie.
