Matthew impresses Oliver by playing an undervalued song over the store speakers, catching his attention. Oliver rewards the moment with a backstage pass to an upcoming concert. The two quickly become friendly, and Oliver invites Matthew to join his entourage as the documentary filmmaker.

Oliver's friends are skeptical at first, unsure of Matthew’s intentions. Matthew begins contributing visual elements to Oliver’s upcoming album cycle, showing his talent as a documentarian. Through his growing contributions, he is gradually accepted into the entourage.

Matthew becomes a well-known social media figure thanks to his association with Oliver. His online visibility catches the attention of his former co-worker Jamie, a fan who wants to meet Oliver. Jamie’s interest foreshadows a new dynamic within the entourage.

Jamie quickly becomes part of the entourage as Oliver’s stylist. His presence stirs tension with Matthew, who resents the new role and the attention Jamie receives. The group edges toward internal friction as they work on Oliver’s projects.

Oliver takes his entourage to London to perform at a concert. The trip deepens the bond within the group but also exposes insecurities. Matthew remains eager to prove himself but begins sensing more intense competition.

During a photoshoot in London, Matthew’s jealousy peaks as he attempts to sabotage Jamie, culminating in Jamie being knocked off a ladder. The incident injures Jamie and creates a dangerous rift. Oliver and the rest of the entourage shun Matthew afterward.

Oliver’s friends reject Matthew after the incident, cutting him off from the group. He tries to repair the relationship but is met with silence. The social fall sets the stage for later drastic choices.

While off the tour, Matthew finds underage Oliver fans and enables a backstage encounter by giving them passes. He discreetly records the moment, and Oliver believes they are adults. The footage becomes leverage in his mind.

Matthew uses the footage to blackmail Oliver, forcing him to let him back into the entourage until the documentary is finished. Oliver reluctantly agrees, hoping they can repair their friendship.

During the tour, Oliver makes several failed attempts to retrieve the hard drive where Matthew stores the footage. He tries to persuade Matthew to delete the footage to ease tension, arguing he truly sees him as a friend. Matthew insists the footage represents a chance to push Oliver toward being a better artist.

The tour bus stops in a desolate area, and Oliver’s friends beat Matthew while Oliver gains access to the hard drive. As he searches, he discovers edited footage of the documentary that Matthew has been filming on tour. This discovery makes Oliver reconsider their relationship.

Sometime later, Matthew’s documentary premieres at a film festival to an enthusiastic crowd. The audience applauds both him and Oliver as they share the stage.

After the premiere, questions from the audience begin. An aspiring photographer asks Matthew how he got to where he is, and he stammers, unable to give a simple answer. The film ends with the moment unresolved, leaving the question hanging.
