As the child of an ex-pro wrestler and a Hooters waitress, Margo Millet's always known she'd have to make it on her own. When she finds herself pregnant by her English professor and in need of cash fast, she comes up with a plan: she'll start an OnlyFans as an experiment, producing content and writing storylines unlike anything else out there.

Luckily, what Margo lacks in options she makes up for in ingenuity, and before she knows it, she's an online phenomenon. Could this be the answer to all of Margo's problems, or does internet fame come with too high a price?
