Joy is trying to begin a new chapter in her life after breaking from her comfort zone and moving to a new city for University. The effort is stifled by her commitment as a beauty influencer and the self-esteem she feeds off her fans. The new chapter finally looks set to begin when she encounters a friendly peer named Cleo, who quickly makes a connection with Joy. When the far more outgoing Cleo invites herself to Joy’s home, Joy finds herself more uncomfortable/unsure with the increasingly neurotic Cleo.
