Synopsis
Jocelyn is a rising star who will do anything for her shot at fame in The Idol
L.A. club owner Tedros is more than he seems. While some know him as the money man at the club, others know him as their cult leader and self-help guru – giving him an unusual style of power over people in L.A.
When Tedros meets Jocelyn, a rising pop star determined to make a comeback after a near career-ending breakdown, the pair turn a bourgeoning romance into a raunchy affair that tests their boundaries. The only way to make it to the top of the industry is for Jocelyn to do what others wouldn't.
