You knew Hollywood would be difficult.
So when you land a job in television, you're ready for anything: pulling all-nighters, leaning on your powerful mother's contacts, keeping your boss happy whatever - and whoever - the cost.
You thrive under pressure, and are determined to excel. But there's a dark side to the industry that's about to rear its head. And soon, you must decide your place in it:
Follower. Troublemaker. People-pleaser. Rulebreaker.
If you don't know who you are yet, how can you know where you stand?
But no one is supposed to have it all figured out . . . Right?
