Retail worker Matthew Morning is employed at a popular Los Angeles clothing store frequented by rising pop musician Oliver, whom Matthew impresses one afternoon by playing an under-appreciated song he loves on the store’s speakers. Oliver gives Matthew a backstage pass to an upcoming concert and quickly befriends him thereafter, inviting him to join his entourage as his documentarian. Matthew is initially met with skepticism and resistance by Oliver’s friends but is eventually accepted as he begins contributing numerous visual elements to Oliver’s upcoming album cycle, ultimately quitting his job at the store.
Matthew himself soon becomes a well-known social media figure for his association with Oliver and is approached by his former co-worker Jamie, who is also a fan of Oliver’s and wants to meet him. Matthew reluctantly agrees and Jamie quickly becomes an additional member of the entourage as the group’s stylist, drawing the ire of Matthew. Oliver takes his entourage, including Matthew and Jamie, to London to accompany him at a concert. During the trip, an increasingly jealous Matthew makes several attempts to sabotage Jamie, culminating in him injuring Jamie by knocking him off of a ladder during a photoshoot. He is promptly shunned by Oliver and his friends afterwards.
After Matthew’s attempts to make amends with Oliver prove futile, he encounters two underage fans of Oliver, whom he equips with backstage passes and discreetly records an encounter between them and Oliver, who is under the impression that they are adults. Matthew subsequently blackmails Oliver with the footage and forces Oliver to allow him back into the entourage until he finishes a documentary about Oliver.
Matthew accompanies Oliver and his friends on tour, despite their visible discomfort, during which Oliver makes several failed attempts to retrieve the hard drive on which Matthew is keeping the footage of the encounter. Oliver attempts to convince Matthew that he truly sees him as a friend and deleting the footage is necessary to eliminate any tension between them. Matthew argues that the pressure is pushing him to be a better artist, which he knows Oliver deeply wants, and that Matthew is his first true friend because he isn’t simply a yes man.
Eventually, Oliver’s friends stop their tour bus in a desolate area and begin beating Matthew, allowing Oliver to access the hard drive. However, as he’s searching through it, he is able to see edited footage of the documentary Matthew has been filming during the tour, and appears to reconsider. Sometime later, Matthew’s documentary premieres at a film festival to an enthusiastic crowd, who applaud both him and Oliver together onstage. After Oliver answers questions, a young photographer in the audience tells Matthew he admires him and wants to be just like him, asking, "What do I have to do?" The film ends before he can answer.
