On her very own reality TV show, a glamorous, business-savvy, hotel heiress named LA will soon choose her new “best friend” from a pool of contestants desperate to earn the title. As contestants are eliminated week by week, the competition intensifies among those who remain. Behind-the-scenes, tension is rising between LA and her crew as the work of maintaining the show’s glitzy façade of “reality” is proving more challenging than anyone imagined. The stakes could not be higher, but we must remain calm for the cameras have eyes. The cameras never sleep.
This production contains flashing lights, simulated drug use, abusive language, and depictions of physical violence.
