The pilot episode titled '1999' opens with the four main characters being introduced. A comparison clip shows their wild before and dulls after.

Jill (Naturi Naughton) is a married woman of the church who is cheating on her husband, turns out she's gay and unhappy. Naomi ( Brandy) is a washed-up musician who's trying to hold on to her musical roots. Valeria ( Nadine Velazquez) is a TV host, the only successful one in the group. The foursome who used to be the 'Nasty Bit****' just aren't so hot anymore and that's the sad reality. Circumstances change when one day their song is played on the radio as a throwback which leads them to get a job as a sideshow for a trendy singer, earning them some cash and a break from their sad life.
