Part 2/8:
The narrative follows Lacie Pound, a woman climbing the social ladder with an overall rating of 4.2 stars. As she navigates her day—jogging, coffee purchases, and work interactions—her world becomes a cacophony of ratings. Each individual interaction is a transactional exchange, where a positive encounter bolsters her score, while associating with lower-rated individuals can quickly jeopardize it. Lacie's character embodies the pressures of societal validation as she practices smiles and minutely curates her online presence, reflecting the superficiality of her existence.
