16-year-old aspiring model Jesse moves to Los Angeles to pursue her dream.

Signed by Jan's modelling agency, Jesse quickly finds herself working with some of the city's top designers and photographers. But her innocence and youth make her a target of her fellow models, including beauty-obsessed Gigi and Sarah, who it seems are willing to go to any lengths to possess Jesse's X factor and to get revenge for the theft of their limelight.

Gaspar Noé writes, directs and produces this explicit romantic drama. The story follows American film student Murphy (Karl Glusman) who has split-up with his French girlfriend Elektra (Aomi Muyock) after cheating on her with another woman, named Omi (Klara Kristin). Two years later, a worried phone call from Elektra's mother causes Murphy to spend New Year's Eve in search of his former lover as he ponders how their relationship fell apart.
