Four college friends, Parks (Nickchambelain), Cold (Marguerite Simpkins), Redd (Ken Harris), Billie (Rebecca Lupardo), start an entertainment show. The show is Billie's idea who becomes the show's coordinator. Parks is a host of the show, Cold is a co-host, and Redd is a cinematographer. They invite various types of guests, such as exotic dancers, to each show and ask them about their work and life styles.
Parks is a very flirtatious guy and he enjoys his part as the host. He also believes that the show is his show, and that makes the rest of the members resentful. His girlfriend, Cold, is especially not happy with the situation, and she starts having interest in Billie, who is Redd's girlfriend. In the meanwhile, there are strange things such as murders of the guests of the show happen, and it begins to look like everything is going for a downward spiral.
