Life was simple; one day you're born without your knowledge, and the next you're getting screwed over, again and again. It happened to everyone, no one was truly spared from it. Some people though, had it easier, while others got screwed over frequently. No matter who you were though, you were going to lose your virginity, if not physically, figuratively. Life had no preference in that regard even if you were seen as the perfect image of the next Hollywood girl. Sydney Diana Joyce was that girl; the image of perfection. The kind of girl people expected to see in magazines and movies from her looks alone. Those who knew her however, only ever saw her as the Apex predator, the kind who always caught her prey. It was the life that Sydney embraced well into her early 20's until one careless night led her to cross path with Octavia Olympia. Octavia 'Parker' Olympia, was the definition of average.

From business to pleasure, Sydney soon finds herself struggling to decide whether she wants to be the Apex predator she's known for or if she wants to play the role of the American dream girl people expect her to be. One way or another though, Sydney was going to screwed over, so she might as well do it like a f****** slut.
