Vera is an aspiring fashion model who feels as though her window of getting into the industry is quickly closing. She doesn't feel good about her body, has developed an eating disorder, and spends hours on end before bed scrolling social media taking in other model's success. This nightly ritual combined with running into her old modeling "friend" Alex, who brags about doing big shoots and being so busy all the time, only further degrades Vera's confidence, and she reaches a breaking point. At the request of her sly, pushy new agent, Jason, Vera makes a trip over to his apartment to take some new pictures. Jason convinces her she needs to have photos of herself naked taken for him to submit her to certain "shoots". Later on, Vera is approached by Nita, a younger ambitious girl who also wants to model. Nita asks Vera out for coffee, but when Jason reaches out to Vera about a cash paying gig that requires two girls, Vera decides to bring Nita. When the two girls arrive at night to the gig, it turns out to be a party at a large house. Unsure of what is going on, or what this work might end up entailing, Vera decides against going in and feels bad for bringing Nita. However, Nita ultimately chooses to enter the house, revealing how far she is willing to go in order to become a model.
