Unbeknownst to her, a lewd selfie of Jocelyn is leaked onto the Internet and her team—including managers Chaim and Destiny, record label executive Nikki, Live Nation representative Andrew, and publicist Benjamin—coordinates a response to maintain her reputation. Later, Jocelyn attends a nightclub with her best friend and assistant Leia, creative director Xander, and backup dancer Dyanne, where she meets the owner Tedros, with whom she instantly connects.

Meanwhile, Leia builds a closer relationship with Izaak—a musician linked to Tedros—while Chaim and Destiny look into Tedros’ past, and Nikki sees potential in Dyanne, who is revealed to be one of Tedros’ followers.

Jocelyn grows closer to Tedros’ group, which is increasingly shown to be a cult. At Tedros’ urging, Jocelyn reveals to the group during dinner that her mother emotionally and physically abused her, with Xander, her childhood friend, doing little to intervene.

Destiny runs a background check on Tedros and learns that his real name is Mauricio Costello Jackson, and is trailing a string of domestic abuse charges.

Xander reveals to Tedros that Jocelyn’s mother outed him as a teenager and made him sign a contract forbidding him from pursuing a music career. In response, Tedros tortures Xander with a shock collar in front of Jocelyn until Xander recants his accusations. Izaak later tends to Xander’s injuries. Jocelyn learns Dyanne recruited her into Tedros’ group and has since been offered a record deal with her label; to get back at Tedros, Jocelyn invites her ex-boyfriend Rob to the house and has sex with him within Tedros’ earshot.

Frustrated with Tedro’s behavior, Jocelyn convinces Chaim to remove him from their lives by offering him $500,000, which Tedros refuses.
