Dzanielle is a well-known social media influencer navigating the competitive, performative world of New York's Upper East Side. She is chasing one million followers, surrounded by people who are not really her friends, and increasingly aware that her curated life and her actual life have very little in common. When she meets someone who does not play by the same rules, something shifts. A New York City comedy-satire about influencer culture, authenticity, female friendship, and the exhaustion of performing online.
