Spoilers ahead
In a stark, sunlit portrait of Los Angeles, a down-on-her-luck businesswoman turned-prostitute, known on the streets as Princess [Season Hubley], does everything she can to support her young daughter Lisa while dodging danger at every turn. As she braces Lisa for a trip to visit her grandmother in San Diego, she receives a distressing call from her friend and coworker, Ginger Grady [Nina Blackwood], who hides from her abusive pimp Ramrod [Wings Hauser] in a seedy motel. Ramrod tracks Ginger down with cold efficiency, posing as an apology before brutally forcing entry, tying her to the bed, and beating and raping her with a pimp stick.
