Consumed by the need for validation and envy of the lives of her former teammates, the official trailer confirms her new and shady lifestyle: Cassie is now an adult content creator.
In one of the most tense scenes in the preview, Nate confronts her when he finds her recording explicit material: “I work all day and my fiancée is with her legs spread on the internet”to which she responds with devastating coldness: “I was just creating content.”
