Stuck at a dead-end hotel job while her long-distance boyfriend attends law school, aspiring rapper Shawna invites an estranged friend out for drinks.

After their first video gains traction, Shawna and Mia's second attempt at success leads to creative differences.

As the duo gets more serious about their music, Shawna schemes to help cover costs. Meanwhile, Mia fields a proposal from a promoter.

Shawna's boyfriend Cliff criticizes the pair's latest work, while Chastity attempts to convince a club to play their song.

The girls take a trip to New York where Shawna finally reunites with Cliff and Mia meets up with a wealthy stranger.

After the events in New York, Mia deals with hateful comments and trolls while Lamont has to step up. Meanwhile, Shawna ditches work for the day.
