PlotConner4Real, a former member of the boy band The Style Boyz, has found immense success as a solo artist. However, his latest album is a critical and commercial failure, forcing him to devise new and increasingly desperate measures to reclaim his fame. With his loyal but skeptical entourage in tow, Conner embarks on a series of promotional stunts that range from absurd to downright embarrassing. His attempts include a disastrous public proposal and absurd product endorsements, each more misguided than the last. Throughout it all, hints of tension with his former bandmates Owen and Lawrence arise, adding to Conner's mounting troubles.
As his career takes a nosedive, Conner becomes increasingly isolated, and his outlandish antics alienate both fans and industry insiders. In a bid to save face, he reluctantly agrees to a tour that only further spirals into chaos. Amidst the turmoil, Conner begins to realize the value of personal connections over superficial success. Old friendships are tested and former allies reveal themselves in unexpected ways as Conner grapples with the true cost of fame.
