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.
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.
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.
When Shawna, Mia and Chastity get frustrated with the behaviour of Francois and Reina Reign, they begin to push back; Shawna gets close with Lord AK; Mia worries about her blunder with Cash.
In LA, Francois tempts Shawna and Mia with fruitful deals, but there is a catch; Mia juggles two lovers at the Billboard party; Shawna and Lord AK get closer to each other.
With their tour officially over, Shawna weighs a career-changing offer from Francois, while Chastity reaches back out to an A&R rep. As Mia focuses on her family, a discovery threatens her relationship with Lamont.
