Young model wannabes learn about the business from the bottom up in this hourlong drama from executive producer Ashton Kutcher. Raina Marinelli is a young model on her way up, while Chris Andrews is starting at the bottom of the fashion food chain. Chris lucks out when Raina shares her expertise with him on his first assignment for Covet Modeling Agency, owned by former supermodel Claudia Foster (Elle Macpherson). Raina takes Chris under her wing and introduces him to other aspiring models, all at various early stages of their careers. As he makes his way in the cutthroat world of high-fashion modeling, Chris must decide whether he can survive in the world of dangerous excess and fleeting fame.
