Greta has been here before. Like, literally. She was just in this Las Vegas penthouse a couple months ago. Back then she was meeting Finn, the handsome bachelor looking for love, on The Lock — the most popular reality dating TV show around. But when she was here last time she was dumped, and went home alone instead of engaged. Life sucks sometimes.

But, other times, that same life has a beautiful way of showing you why it sucked so hard before - so you can appreciate what comes next even more. Because now Greta is the next lucky bachelorette to have 30 or so men worshiping her while she breaks up with them one at a time. It’s weird to be recognized in public, and even weirder to have so many dudes fighting over her. Actually, after just a couple days, it’s kind of exhausting, especially when she’d rather send all but a couple of them home. Be careful what you wish for, right?

Throughout the whirlwind, Greta spends more time with her personal cameraman, Oliver, than she does on trysts with the guys she’s supposed to be falling in love with. And the more time she spends with Oliver, the less she wants to spend with anyone else. Anyone. Even the guys here for her. It gets worse, too. The fact that he’s behind the scenes instead of on the big screen.... It’s not the only problem. He also has a girlfriend. And that’s a line Greta won’t cross. But she can’t stop wishing she’d met him before all of this craziness.

Will Greta get her head together long enough to focus on following the rules of the show, or will she screw up this second shot at love too?
