The series explores the relationship between Jocelyn (Lily-Rose Depp), an up-and-coming pop star, and Tedros (The Weeknd), a Los Angeles club owner and cult leader. Jocelyn has a nervous breakdown that stops her from finishing her tour, and seeks to claim the title of the sexiest pop star in America. Little has been revealed about the plot of the music-industry drama, besides the fact that it is supposedly “the sleaziest love story in all of Hollywood.” Intrigued is an understatement.
