Stuck at a dead-end hotel job while her long-distance boyfriend attends law school, aspiring rapper Shawna spontaneously invites her estranged friend Mia out for drinks – yielding surprising results.

After their first video gains traction, Shawna and Mia’s second attempt at success leads to creative differences.

As the duo get more serious about their music, Shawna dives deeper into a scheme to help cover costs. Meanwhile, Mia fields a proposal from her promoter friend Chastity.

Shawna’s boyfriend Cliff criticizes the pair’s latest work, while Chastity attempts to convince a club to play their song.

The girls take a trip to New York where Shawna finally reunites with Cliff and Mia meets up with a wealthy stranger.

After the events in New York, Mia deals with hateful comments and trolls while Lamont has to step up. Meanwhile, Shawna decides to ditch work for the day.

Before heading to her first-ever live performance, Shawna faces off against a former friend, whose critical words about the pair’s lack of direction hit home.

After the show, Mia and Shawna find themselves questioning the group’s future. Later, Mia forms an unexpected connection, while Shawna considers an offer.
