The Neon Demon

A newcomer to Los Angeles, Jesse is undoubtedly a dreamer. An orphan from a small town in Georgia, pretty, doe-eyed Jesse with the youthful innocence of sweet sixteen, she is determined to succeed in the big city even if it makes her blood freeze. Seemingly helpless, yet armed with heart-warming naiveness, unspoilt natural beauty, and above all, her big dreams, Jesse, as an eager neophyte, there isn't much that would let stand in the way of her aspirations, even if this means to house them in a filthy motel room in Pasadena. Luckily, she is not all alone. Supported by the well-connected make-up artist Ruby and highly motivated, Jesse will swiftly thrive in the demanding L.A. fashion world where beauty's freshness has but a very short expiration date. Inevitably, Jesse, as the next bold "it girl" will strike fear and envy in the hearts of washed-up 20-year-old models Gigi and Sarah, who after being delicately crushed under Jesse's irresistible allure and with the jealousy gnawing on their bones, they will frigidly decide to seal her opponent's fate. In the end, inside a pit of vipers where innocence has no place, is beauty everything?
