The New Romantic

Synopsis

Blake Wiley is a college senior and aspiring journalist who spends most of her time writing reviews for the school paper while figuring out how to escape her looming post-­graduation fate of an unpaid internship, which may or may not lead to nowhere in particular. On a drunken misadventure, she gets a glimpse into the world of "sugaring" and realizes she’s stumbled into the story that could jumpstart her career. In the spirit of gonzo journalism, Blake becomes a Sugar Baby and sets out on a quest to figure out if society is right to judge these women, and if her own self-­worth comes with a price.
