Description:
Life as a sex worker is seen through the eyes of a young college student, seeking to not only leave the life, but also leave her boyfriend / pimp. In the early morning in the San Fernando Valley, Mary-Beth decides to take an incall from a potential suitor. Instead of meeting the client at a hotel or a separate location, she invites him over to her and Lucas’ small apartment. After the visit, the client quickly steals the money back and runs. With no option left but to tell Lucas that not only did she lose the money that would have helped pay their rent, but she slept with this man in their home, Lucas snaps. After a volatile argument, Mary-Beth informs Lucas that this was her last client and she’s out of the game. Lucas refuses to hear it, leaving Mary-Beth to ponder on not only her relationship with sex work but her relationship with her partner.
