Filmed under the previous title Sugar Mommy, the movie follows a young college student named Eve who sneaks out for a wild night of partying with her friends. But after one of the girls winds up dead, Eve loses her athletic scholarship and struggles to pay for her tuition. Meeting Carla, a successful event planner, seems like the answer to Eve’s prayers when she’s offered a job that seems too good to be true.
