César uses the stage name of Felipe Sabatié, as a tribute to his maternal grandfather. César is constantly harassed by his girlfriend Marisela, whom he plans to leave behind by a young woman he meets in a chat.

Just up the river from our nation's capital lies a hidden gem—Potomac, Maryland.

In a town where entry is granted only through class, pedigree, and lineage, how far will these ladies go to secure their spot at the top of this prestigious circle?
