Katy designs clothes for anyone she can, including her friend and roommate Josie, whose singing talent catches the attention of Alexander Cabot, a CEO who hopes to reboot the record label division of his father's corporate empire.
But Alexander's dream of signing Josie to a recording contract meets resistance from Cabot Media's powerful senior vice president Alexandra, who also happens to be his twin sister.

But Katy has the support of her longtime boyfriend, KO Kelly, who has his own dream of becoming a professional boxer.

Riverdale 4
Channel: M-Net (DStv 101)
TX Time: 21h00
Genre: Drama
The third season of Riverdale began at the end of summer vacation, with Archie's trial for a murder he didn't commit, orchestrated by Hiram Lodge, building to a shattering conclusion.
Archie was sent to juvenile detention, even as a new threat reared its head in Riverdale: The Gargoyle King.
A figure of myth inspired by the role-playing game Gryphons and Gargoyle, the Gargoyle King started claiming sacrificial victims, beginning with Dilton Doiley.
As Betty and Jughead investigated the deadly game's origins (with their parents, 20 years earlier), Veronica worked ceaselessly to get Archie out of juvie, where he was forced to bare-knuckle box for survival.
She finally succeeded in breaking Archie out, but with Hiram still gunning for him, the red-headed hero broke up with Veronica and headed out of town with Jughead, seeking asylum with Jughead's Serpent mom Gladys Jones.
With Archie and Jughead out of the way, Hiram's criminal takeover of Riverdale continued, with his "candy-making" producing a terrifying side-effect in the students of Riverdale High - inexplicable, stress-provoked seizures - which prompted Hiram's wife Hermione to order the town to be quarantined.
When the quarantine was lifted, the threats to Riverdale had multiplied.
The Gargoyle King was still claiming victims; the cult-like Farm Alice Cooper had joined was indoctrinating new members left and right, including Kevin Keller; and Hiram and Gladys found themselves vying for control of the town's drug-trade - with Veronica and her speakeasy, and new beau Reggie Mantle, caught in the middle.
When a haunted and hunted Archie returns to Riverdale, he finds his beloved town on the brink of collapse.
Penelope Blossom has opened a brothel. Cheryl Blossom and her girlfriend Toni Topaz have started a gang to challenge the Southside Serpents - the Pretty Poisons.
No one is safe, not even kingpin Hiram Lodge, who is shot by none other than new Sheriff FP Jones. He survives, barely.
And meanwhile, the mysteries surrounding Gryphons and Gargoyles deepen, drawing in all of the characters, including the enigmatic cult-leader Edgar Evernever and his daughter Evelyn.
Resident chanteuse Josie McCoy leaves town just as the endgame begins: with Veronica and Archie (training to be a boxer) teaming-up to take down Hiram Lodge once and for all, even as Betty exposes the Farm's horrific truths and Jughead zeroes in on the Gargoyle King's true identity.
With one deadly round of Gryphons and Gargoyles left to play, will Archie, Betty, Veronica and Jughead survive the night and make it to Senior Year?
In the Season 4 premiere, "Chapter Fifty-Eight: In Memoriam": As the residence of Riverdale prepare for its upcoming Independence Day parade, Archie receives a phone call that will change the rest of his life forever.
